REAR SUSPENSION BUILD. 4 LINK, COIL MOUNTS, PANHARD, SHOCKS!

[@michael-michaelmotorcycle]

Thirty seven minutes of puddin, woohoo.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

I’m not happy with it at all! I wish it was separate videos!

[@marvinrandolph3731]

These old PUDDIN VIDEOS ARE PRETTY FUNNY BUT NOTHING LIKE HE IS NOW HE HAS REALLY CHANGED WELL I GUESS YOU CAN SAY HE'S GOT MORE COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA

By this video, all I could think was “ You’ve come far Pilgrim.” From One Of my favorite movies ever, Jeremiah Johnson. And you have. Proud of you and your progress.

[@uncletoddsgarage]

I’m loving this series. I really like your attention to detail and your forward thinking. You’ve motivated me to get back to work on my old truck and cut some videos. Thanks!

[@ManChildMaineiac]

I love catching up on this build! I discovered you on a video suggestion of you pulling blue 42 out of the yard. Now in catching up on anything I haven't watched. Watching in order. Also anticipation of the Monday uploads!! You truly are a legendary fabricator brother!! I also love that you take the time then and now to show why how and what it takes to do each step! Class act man!

[@billvandamme2432]

most will like the length of video when they like the content......and that was a complicated job....thanks fer doin it

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thanks for watching!

[@steveschumacher5470]

really enjoyed this video. you are truly a good teacher. I am 64 years old & been welding & fabricating most of those years & still enjoy learning how others do the process. keep it up. Right now is a good time to find ways to share with others. thanx

I love the suspension builds huge fan of the way you do brackets and gussets I'm gonna order some dimple dies and play with em a bit 😉

[@xozindustries7451]

Really cool build, good job. The good part about using the impala springs is that if you decide to change to air bags I’m sure they will bolt right into the mounts you built

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thank you!

[@christophergreen2328]

I'm pretty sure I watched the complete build on the travel all, don't remember this one so I most likely watched it for the second time. Awesome work man.

[@Dirt-Broke-Garage]

going back and watching some of the older videos and this was a good one to see some great fab! Who is the manufacturer of the four link kit?

Very creative. I think the air bags as supplements to the coil springs is going to work very well for you.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

I think they will definitely help with towing.!

[@77supervan79]

Really dig the spring mount setup

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thank you. !

[@77supervan79]

Great work man, love the videos. I watched pedantic's videos as well when I was designing my 4-link and watts setup. Those braces you put on the front of your axle brackets are exactly like what I used on the back of mine where I put my lower shock tabs.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

I wish I was willing to cut the body up more to get the four link where it needed to be. Really tho with just the coils and no airride it won’t be traveling near the distance that a bag would have. I think it will be good

[@bigd2203snuffy]

Looking great! Sometimes it takes a few steps back to make it turn out the way you want.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

It’s part of it!

[@jeremyhanna3852]

Max's book is awesome he is a geometry master

[@PuddinsFabShop]

[@b_for_brett]

Great work mate. Be worth mentioning to anyone planning a rear suspension fab to keep in mind where, if needed, your exhaust might need to run

[@PuddinsFabShop]

True! I feel like I did enough talking in the video. I’m still not sure where mines gonna run.

[@eppyschopshop]

Great video being stuck at home I appreciate a long video lol. Also almost went through the same notch issue! I I peices my flip kit together with "heavy duty off road" parts and would have had 3 inches of clearance without the weight of my bed. Ended going full 6 inch and I'm still on factory leafs lol

[@PuddinsFabShop]

That’s plenty of clearance. I can’t remember how much clearance I have now but I can’t even get it close to hitting.

Personally not a fan of lowering vehicles, however I do admit that Travelall looks really nice.

Wow a lot of work for springs vs coilovers. I must say you do nice work. Wouldn't it be easier to set up your 4 bar, panhard bar and springs before you do your floor.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

It would of been. At the time of doing the first c notch and and floor I was planning on just running the factory leaf springs and not going as low as i did.

@@PuddinsFabShop that make sense. No need spending that kind of money if you don't have to.

[@icantintyou]

freakin genius

[@PuddinsFabShop]

I would say experimental lol

[@Wreckerboy]

Glad to see the video. One thought - I understand how you came to the compressed length of your spring (“don’t do this at home, kids”), but the load or weight you used to find it probably isn’t accurate. The truck doesn’t have an interior, wiring, a floor, or passengers in it. I’m afraid you are going to be way undersprung. Coil overs are much easier to deal with by comparison and they save a lot of room. There is also a wide variety of springs available in various rates for them. Just my 0.02.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

There was an extra few hundred pounds in the back when that was test. That was also no shocks. The way it was built I can add a spacer to lift if need be but it will definitely be low enough.

[@luckyshotrodsarkansas9952]

where did you buy that 4 link kit ?

I just don’t understand how people would support chauvinistic pig who has zero integrity and a complete lack of respect for anyone. I was really enjoying your videos Puddin. Hey Puddin did you forget or not see him mocking disabled veterans how do you support that as a veteran who serve six years. My mind cannot wrap around how you could support that and then have no shame and put a fucking hat like that on I just don’t understand it.
