Trailing arm mods done! Just need paint now. Was considering additional reinforcement along the side of the arm that got cut into, but now I think its unnecessary. The tube itself is 1/8" which is heavier than the original stamped steel.
New springs are on order, same rates but a 6" length vs original 5" length. I've got more adjustment range now too and loads of travel. The actual articulating perch assemblies bolt in just in case I ever needed to replace/service any portion.
Almossssst done with fab work. Just need to do the cross reinforcement on the passenger side trailing arm since the first piece I made interferes with the fuel fill hose. God it's going to be great to sweep out the garage and dust everything off. The steel dust is god awful and has gotten EVERYWHERE.
Half done with assembly of a HF standing blast cabinet too :D

This is awesome. It looks like you'd probably still be able to run a 5" spring with how much adjustment there is. I have my adjusters all the way down (touching the trailing arm) with 5" springs. I suppose though that part of the goal with this is to have more bump travel, which a 6" spring in the same rate would.

Did welding the strut tube damage the threads? I want to do the same thing with my bcs. My front swaybar is in a bad position.

thanks! yea, probably could still run the 5" spring. Eyeballing it, max height adjustment is actually taller than where I was at with the old adjuster. But as you noted, half the reason I did this whole thing was to gain more travel. I misspoke a few posts ago when i mentioned coil bind... I do not have coil bind, but I do/did have contact between upper and power perches.

This is awesome but I have a question. Does the threaded adjuster have a locking collar to keep it from moving out of adjustment?How to remove, install or convert to pop out windows

Could be better, could be worse.
