    Dave, Quadradeuce??? When I read your response I said to myself "Quadradeuce" Just what in the world is a "Quadradeuce" So I went and found out. So I went and found the dang thing--- Damn what a car!!

    No nothing quite as grandois as that. Just a simple 4x4 system using a Dana 44 Front Solid by the way. Your explanation of 3 to 4" for a regular coil over "Type" suspension is a real good place to start. I had no clue what amount of travel is really needed.

    While this is going to be a 4x4, it is going to be mainly a street truck that just happens to be 4x4. Instead of a 4x4 that just happens to be a street truck. Know what I mean by that?

    My plan is to keep it as low as I can, I don't mean slammed but low within reason. A few years ago there were a series of Early Bronco's raced by Bill Strope. Because these were real race trucks they kept them with a pretty low center of gravity, thus low. While the truck I am building is certainly nothing like an Early Bronco I would like toi maintain that look.

    Thanks Dave !!!
