    Cleaned up the old work truck a bit new seats and wheels also built my own twin turbo setup. Well Beef did most of the TIG welding... ok all of the welding . It’s an internally gated s362SXE with a big s475 under it. The turbo setup spools like stock and will maintain 1000+ft-lbs to the rear wheels at under 1200* (read pull 15klbs any hill or bridge at 70mph) like I said work truck . Winters only a week or two long down here so ya gotta work quick

    I always have a winter project or two. Spent last winter on my Viper rigging the whole deal. Gonna start a thread soon as I'm almost done and need to sort out the pics ( and learn how to post them) Want to join the Trailer Club and build an aluminum one for the Viper and my SLT. Also would like to add the "juice" to my 25 Yammy!

    AMEN to that! When you are done with one thing something else will catch your eye or need attention.

    Is there a reason why the braked axle was at the back?

    Lot's of opinions out there on this subject. Those center bellcrank's on twin axles create some weird and hard to explain characteristics when they pivot.
    IMO the geo of axles with springs plants the rear axle when the weight shifts forward while stopping.
    This doesn't occur with torsion style axles.

    Thanx
    We do not see the Bell Crank option in our country, so this totally foreign ground for me.
    Food for thought.
    I would imagine the bell crank equalises the load between to 2 axles, therefore not really important which one it is under.
    I f one has adverse effects then it would be better to have it under the other
