“Let go, cue the music” As I proceeded to get an o’reilys ad lmao

[@White-Head]

I've always squared off the rear axel. Cause I've always saw where nothing on these frames are exact.

[@theotherguy3083]

Where is the second part? I can't wait to see it!!!!

[@moyreyes3508]

Wish you guys were in California.

[@amocan3932]

😊

[@zerofuckkksgiven8027]

How do you decide where to mount those spring hangers?

[@brentcodling8454]

Have you ever done any of these axle swaps on a Ram 1500

[@Gazpoint]

Hey man, can you post a link to the icon leaf spring kit that you bought for this build? I am trying to do a SAS on my duramax

[@brandonrodgers77]

making American trucks American again

[@mattvankleek4040]

I just received the same kit and the welds are still horrible. Did Sky respond back to you about their welding job?

[@wildnwheeling3042]

U from around st clairsville Ohio?? I've seen a truck this color solid axle swapped and way up

[@savagereviews7212]

Why did you go with leaf springs over coils ? i get the price difference but the ride you get from leaf springs is ruff

[@marting98]

What size are the leaf springs?

[@austinhernandez9730]

I’m building a solid axle for a dmax should I install the coilovers to the axle and towers and then build the 4 link I’m kinda worried because when I drop it on it’s own weight will it push the axle to much forward ?

[@timothysirmon1655]

Only thing I don’t understand is how did you know it was centered in the wheel well

[@osvaldonarvaez798]

how does it ride up front with those leaf springs? they look stiff as hell

[@ConnerV]

They should have used the 99-04 f250 springs, they are way nicer.

[@zerofuckkksgiven8027]

Who makes those spring hangers? I’m thinking about straight axle swapping my 18 Colorado with the baby d max

[@travisb6520]

[@posjoey]

How much are you running in the front?

[@OddTimeMan]

I want to convert my 2000 GMC 3500HD dually to 4WD. It has a straight I-beam axle in the front with leaf springs, a Dana 80 in the rear, 7.4 Vortec (454) and a 4L80E trans. Not sure if I should go with a Dana 60 or Dana 70 in the front. Is one easier to work with?

[@aguallojful]

Was it hard to do I need help doing it to mine

[@rockymtnredneck4888]

Not trying to knock on ya, but when you fully weld the front hanger, will you fully weld what Sky didn't? You called them out, are you gonna fix their shortcoming is what I'm asking.

[@CougarHouseGarage]

I let sky know about it and they said thanks for letting them know an there going to make some changes to production of them, I will fully weld that hanger on after the whole front suspension is mocked up

[@ConnerV]

[@rewardboy1]

shackle hanger angle ok?

[@CougarHouseGarage]

The leafs need to settle

[@rewardboy1]

ah, is part 3 somewhere? curious to see how it turned out

[@CougarHouseGarage]

Were just waiting for the knuckle to come back from weaver fab so we can fab up the high steer

[@aguilardaniel306]

Did you think that it's possible to do axle swap in an toyota tundra 2005? Let know .

[@CougarHouseGarage]

Oh yeah no problem DM me and I can get you a Cougar House Fab 4-Link kit out to you

[@aguilardaniel306]

How much you think is going to cost me $?

[@CougarHouseGarage]

Dm me on my Instagram cougarhousegarage

[@spencersmart8747]

Hey cougare house had a quick question maybe you could help me with so iv recently put a dana 44 under the front of my 2002 chevy but I'm having a hard time with the degree of the shackles what did you guys set the degree on the dmax it's a ten inch lift

[@CougarHouseGarage]

When you set up the leaf springs you want about 5* of shackle angle with no weight on the axle , then when the spring breaks in you will have about 15* of angle witch is what you want

[@spencersmart8747]

@@CougarHouseGarage right on thank you

[@DieselPete]

What’s the name of the song that starts around 6:05?

[@Mike-xn1bh]

P Smith831 For real I want to know the name of the song too? Edit: Adam Vitali- Conscience

[@ttitan1291]

Such a good song man

[@jasonschulte6985]

The passenger side shackle looked like it pitched forward 15 degrees, but the driver side looked like it pitched back 15 degrees. Is it just camera angles playing tricks???

[@CougarHouseGarage]

Just an optical illusion we put angle finders on them

[@fredstanley5758]

Bro that ain’t no optical illusion. The passenger side shackle pitches to the rear and the drivers side pitches toward the front. You can plainly see it from every angle that it was filmed from. We saw him using the angle finder but something didn’t come out quite right. 13:49 till the end.

[@danielalamo2075]

He said, under compression shackles are back. And at droop they come forward.

[@brandonhensel1301]

Addiegirl's Country Home you right they are off .. but hopefully it ended up being correct once they finished

[@CougarHouseGarage]

One leaf spring was put back in the backwards after the shackle hanger was weld in the frame. The next day I worked on it I flipped it around the correct way before I installed the axle with u-bolts.

[@8__D]

7:30 I’d bet on a cracked frame in the future. You’ve created a massive stress concentration cutting so close to that already existing hole.

[@haydenwalters8729]

I agree im worried about doin it myself cuz of that looks like its gonna be 8k for coil spring all said nd done

[@anonymous4507]

Why did you even bother with springs? You may as well just go ahead and weld it solid with no suspension. The thickness of that spring pack is giving you about the same damn thing.

[@CougarHouseGarage]

This build is put together for this customers budget he wanted leaf springs
