    K1500 with slide on camper

    Whats the typical weight of a pop up style? Those things can get pricey real fast.

    K1500 with slide on camper

    Il start off saying i know that k1500 are not really ment for slide in campers. But has anyone ever done it? Ive really been wanting to get a camperette but im unsure about it. My truck is has a 14 bolt sf so im not to worried about the axel.

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    Sorry guys, but looks like i wont be making any sets. Too much liability and my work just isnt okay with getting that much free use out of the waterjet.

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    Probably 4340 or 4140 it's a 1 3/4" bar so pretty beefy. I'm pretty busy with work this week so not sure when Il get to calling a metal supplier about anything. Also going to have to talk the company owner about water jet use. Don't think there so fond of employees making money like that if...

    93 stepside

    Well I think 10.5 would be fine rather then 12.5" width you said you bought it with.

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    And as a regard for finishing I could media blast/paint/powder coat(have a personal one)/commercial powder coat. Let's start a discussion about it what people want.

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    I talked with the gm of my work about patents/expired patents and i think it's a go guys. Going to have to do some pricing first.

    93 stepside

    Your diff gears you have will determine a bunch, if you had 4.10s I'd stick with 33" tires personally.

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    Just letting everyone know that camping trip with the t bar relocators was good. Was ripping down some pretty rough roads, didn't move a bit. Not concerned the slightest about its durability for what I use it for.

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    Il keep the thread updated on how testing goes and where I'm at if I decide to build a few of them.

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    Unless I could get 10 people to buy at once I'd probably never make them, I had to get my brother to mill the hexagon shaft for me because all the metal suppliers where I live will only sell a 12' long piece for $1000.

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    So drove a little bit today and leveled it, wanna get a real alinement from a shop before I do much. Going camping this weekend, I'm gonna be driving around 250km so that should be a fairly good test.

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    I think I'm gonna drill a hole in the side of the brackets for a set screw to the torsion bar. If it's fixed to the torsion bar it shouldnt need anything to hold it to the control arm, not to mention it's a super tight fit in the control arm.

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    So far so good guys, the picture is the truck sitting on its own with no jacks or anything. Bounced it a little to make sure she wasn't balancing on a thread. Torison bars haven't been cranked yet and have a few bolts to tighten for the lift kit still. The rain here runs right threw my carport...

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    Look like it's ready for a test, shaft was made way loger then what i needed and isn't welded yet just to make sure it all fits properly. Probably do an update tomorrow sometime on how the truck sits.

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    just so happens today I was talking to our water jet operator (good buddy of mine) was telling me about a scrap piece of 1.75 4140 we have laying around at the shop that might work good with what I'm doing

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    This was just a test cut of 12 guage steel to help with finding the shape btw

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    So it looks like I have the right length and angles now. It has around 1/2" clearance from the trans cross member, even with the arm jacked all the way to the bump stop still had good clearance. I think the next step would be to decide what metal/grade to use and definitely put some extra...

    Homemade torsion bar relocators

    Il have to do some research about steel grades especially for the hex shaft going into the lower control arm. I do have a driver and passenger side piece, just have to lessen the angle I had for them on the first cut.
