[@bobbyrosa4652]

I really enjoy your channel! I have an 82 full size square body, and I remember that there was a weak area in the frame just past the firewalls heading towards the motor... so might suggest plating the inside of the frame especially now that you have the fox coil over hoops that will add torsional flex on the frame and maybe a shock tower bar that bolts shock tower to shock tower so that stress is shared with the other frame rail.... Just my .02 $ I'm really excited about this build.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thanks for the heads up! We'll definitely look into that once we pull the cab off!

[@Michael666CA]

Weak point at the steering box for sure, and with that caliber of suspension, axles and tires I would 100% box the frame, and there is complete kits.

[@garyvincent9663]

Looks great ... But you need to box in the frame. The leverage of the four link combined with the added weight of the big Tires and suspension will rip the frame apart. Those frames are prone to crack around the steering box with stock setup.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@Mike-qp8bv]

I will concur with Gary on this. I have loads of experience with these lifted square bodies. The frames are definitely a weak link and need that extra reinforcement.

[@Posibrian]

Beat me to it, I’ve done the exact same. These frames are garbage from the factory.

[@comeandtravel1]

Looks like a good beginning to a nice truck.

sweet a full modern C10 ! oh i so wanted to do this to my ol 79 but the frame cracked behind the cab when i helped someone keep their car from sinking in a houston bayou while they got themselves and their stuff out in a huge storm .. i still have the 79 toyota hylux federal i traded for her the street engine i built went into a drag boat

[@CrankAddict]

PRO TIP: When I cut my rods, I set up my ends with only 1/3 thread showing. The reason is this: I am OK with turning the rods in so only 1 thread is showing, but I am not OK with turning the rods out with only 1 thread engaging. I consider the last 1/3 of the threads to be ESSENTIAL and so only 2/3 of the threads are used for adjusting the bar length. Good luck with the build.

[@Mike-qp8bv]

That is really good advice for someone not familiar with heim joints. I've found that the initial setup is usually fairly decent. After measuring multiple times, have the pinion angle relatively close. I generally to get each component as close as possible before cutting and welding link bars. Tape measures are your friend. In my case, it's more of a love hate relationship.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

That's a pretty good rule of thumb to live by! Thanks for the advice!

[@GlassWerx]

Before yall get everything welded solid don't forget about the change in pinion angles since the lift changed as well as all the upgraded suspension

[@SalvagetoSavage]

that's actually the first thing we set before dropping the chassis down on the axel! It just didn't fit into the timeline of the video! But we have our pinion angle set and this front axel is all ready for it's final welds!

[@kartezcuby4690]

For a person just starting out into ls swaps. What setup is suggested? I don’t need anything crazy fast but I do want power and to have fun. I’m doing this for a Chevy c10 still deciding on what setup to do as far as a drivetrain or at least motor and transmission

[@SalvagetoSavage]

A lot of our builds use LS3's. They're pretty stout motors even when stock. They're pretty easy to find too, whether you're trying to find a stock pull-out motor, or jumping right into a built crate engine set up.

[@red_wyatt]

Sweet build, but I am curious about the link setup as it seemed to me that your links are too close vertically on the axle, everything I have seen for parallel 4 links and 3 links is you want 1/4 of the tire size between (so 10 inch minimum of separation for a 40 inch tire) this has been the word in the off-road jeep world where I am from, I also don’t know what size tires is planned for the build. Not saying you guys are wrong I just noticed it and it made me think, after all you are the pros and it is one badass build.

[@halliwilljon]

I always enjoy what you guys do.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We're so stoked you like it!

[@joeschlotthauer840]

15:00, I'd like to see a nut welded on each of the tubes for easy adjustments, so you don't have to use a pipe wrench.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

You wouldn't use a wrench to adjust the actual bar. You'd use it to loosen the nut locking it in place, then spin the bar by hand from the center to make your adjustment

[@barnbuiltbeaters]

This may be a dumb question, but how do you figure out what the ride height is prior to letting the weight of the vehicle down to load the suspension?

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We fabricated everything based off of the highest and lowest points of suspension travel so we know we won't overextend our shocks or blow them out slamming them too low. We'll be able to adjust the ride height slightly by adjusting our coil overs, but we're trusting in the lift manufacturers guidelines for most of the ride height. Since we're following the shock angles and tube positions they've laid out, we're pretty certain it will give us the right amount of lift!

Since when does the LT4 have port fuel injection? Is it a Holley kit? The LT5 has both direct and port injection. ORD also makes a kit for lower lifts that has the 4-link frame upper attachment points offset to the side of the frame so the link can cycle past the bottom of the frame. The upper links include an offset bend to realign to the attachment points on the axle.

[@JoeZelensky]

If I was the customer I would have went with a VW V10 TDI engine with a manual trans and AWD. I would also not bother with the fancy lift kit and went with old school leaf springs which are much stronger.

I have an 1986 GMC 👀 how did he get these awesome people to work on his truck ,$????

[@johngraves9201]

I’m concerned with the fact that the trac bar was measured at full bump. That means the axle will not be centered at ride height and even more so at full droop. Trac bar length should be determined at ride height so there is equal amounts of movement during suspension cycling.
