    1990 Extended Cab "Low Tow"

    I wanted a 78-87 square crew cab dually, but this is what I had "lying" around. So I sold a truck and built this. We bought this only to tow our trailer, the stock look and hieght were killing me. I originally was going to lower it, with helper bags, but being my heritage of throwing Sparks I...

    Wishbone 4 link to keep stock gas tank location

    I wanted to keep the stock gas tank location, so I ran across a wishbone setup, but only two pics. So, I basically had to design my own. I knew I'd be towing a camping trailer so I knew the bars would have to be strong. So I ended up with 2"x2"x1/4" sidewall tubing. Can't get stronger then that...

I also used triple convoluted bags on the lower bars to get lift to get the trailer off the ground...

    90 ECSB Wishbone Links with Factory Gastank Loctaion

    I was concerned about the mounting points at the axle, but I after building many 4 link setups, were the mounting points were never 90 degree to the axle, and I never had a bind. As for the lower link, none of these pics are at ride hieght. Just, testing movement.
