I just wanted to show my latest project at Titan Machines 1 inch longer control arms on a 2001 Dodge Cummins with 3 1/2 inch lift. These were made with Ballistic joints and DOM tubing[

 

[spankdog]

Those look really good. No problems with the track bar hitting the front diff? Are those Lorenz towers?

 

[dieseldork]

Well the next projectat Titan machine is we are cutting off the old track bar mount at the frame and fabbing up a new mount and track bar . The shock towers are also made at Titan machines .I will get pic's of both when it is all done .

Are you guys going to be specializing in Dodge suspensions?

Yes for right now because Dodge trucks are the only thing around here for a donor truck.

Be careful w/ 1" arms under 5-6" of lift. We had a guy w/ a Lorenz 2.25 SAW Suspension on his truck at Glamis. At full suspension cycle he mashed half of his driverside coil bucket w/ 1" CA's installed.

Here is pictures of the shock towers if anyone is interested

Just wanted to show another problem that arises if you move the axle foward 1" the sway bar has to be moved or the mounting bracket on the axle has to be moved I decide to move the mounting brtacket on the axle hopefully you can see by the pictures.

Im curious as to why you are going with 1" longer arms. We already know that 1/2" longer arms work great, so why are you going through all the extra work to gain another 1/2"? What are the benifits that you gain to offset the amount of work it takes to run them?

To answer your question I guess is I like a challenge and second of all when I first started this project I was trying to turn 33"x15.5"x18" on 10"x18" rims with only 2" of lift with out rubbing and with my after market front bumper I had a lot of room between the bumper and tire compared to backside of tire to fender .

why sleeve the bottoms and not the tops, or even sleeve them at all?

 

[jt3436]

can you pm me some prices

 

[btolenti]

yeah, I would be interested in some of those shock towers for a third gen.

Truthfully I don't think they really need sleeved but when Titan Machines builds something I like to go the extra mile and build it for the WOW FACTOR

lol yea i hear ya there, i went a lil overboard on my air suspension too.

Here's a question for ya... Those shock mounting towers... are they the same heighth as stock ones or can they be made an inch shorter to gain lift?? Sorry it this is a stupid question...

 

[btolenti]

shock length does not determine lift - only coil spring length. Shocks are available in different lengths - not for adding lift, but to make sure that they are not the limiting factor in suspension travel.

I follow... Thanks for clearing that up!!!

The shock towers were designed so I could run the same part# of bilsteins that are in the front as I have in the rear .

Looks good! We've really been moving alot of those joints for Thuren Fab and seem they to be woring great for the Dodge crowd.
