When i say custom i mean it. A few of you might have seen this on GMFS but i thought it was worthy. I dont know why anyone would do anything like this.

wtf, why would he do that? Now they cant back their buddies mini truck under it now? damn.
 
yep
 
how bout that steering shaft angle
 
What about those tires on stock axles? Doubt they're regeared either.

Oh yea, needs more triangulation!!!! LOL

I also want to know whats going on with the mess of tubing and junk under the rear. If the IFS is lifted 32" how big are the blocks in the rear????
 
"Also has Motive 5.57 gears to help get that 10 mpg."
 
Wait, so essentially it's like a 32" body lift in the front. Somehow I doubt those are solid sq tube stalks holding up, can you imagine the leaning force on them taking a hard corner?

From what I can tell, it looks like they just took the whole front 3' of IFS from and everything and just bracketed the truck to that. Wow.
And... are those the tosion bars sticking out behind it? It dosn't look like those stalks they connect to (nice steps btw) are even braced to anything... that's a lot of twisting force on the end of a fulcrum!

Yeah, pointing and screaming? Pictures? I'll bet!

This is a perfect example of people being completely stupid and taking the dangerous route to do something instead of the right way. "How about that flex" he says, what an idiot.
 
I don't understand. It would seem to me that anyone that has the tools and know how to weld/fabricate even a little bit could see how bad this thing is. I believe it would be easier to do a solid axle on the front, wouldn't it??
 
all that well thought out engineering and he couldnt even figure out how to install a front drive shaft.

hell at that angle he'd need a chain and sprocket on the end of the shaft to get the power to the pinion.
 
I mean seriously, with adding the additional fram to the bottom of the front, don't you think swapping a solid axle up there would have been easier???
