Channel: Aired Down
Date: 2021-04-19

Welcome back to Aired Down. This is episode 2 of the Dreadnought Durango One Ton Swap build series, and what and exciting moment! My custom designed 3 link gets mocked up and flexed out on the lift! To be more specific, I fabricated my upper link frame mount and tacked it in. I also, tack welded all the axle side link mounts on, fabricated my track bar mounts and tacked them on. Finally, I assembled the axle onto the Durango and flexed it out.

If you didn't see the previous episode, episode one, I tore the rear of the rig down, welded the lower link frame mounts together, tacked them on the frame, started fabricating my upper link frame mount and trimmed some of the body for those massive 43s. It's a good one, so check it out on my channel!

There are a lot of technical hurdles to overcome during a full on custom designed axle swap with link suspension. I am very pleased to report that so far things are working out very well! In fact, the only real problem I encounter in this video is a track bar collision with my fuel filler and breather hoses. I'll relocate them down the road.
