1985 D150 "Mr. Curtis" race truck with a 2015 6.4
I built this contrapment:
It locates everything in its stock Ram 1500 specs, adjusted to the aproximate ride height of my truck so i can just push it under the engine crossmember and start building frame attachments.
Well, no.
In stock form the inner axis of the LCA of the Ram 1500 is on a 2° incline with the rear of the control arm beeing lower.
It is also angled inward 7° in relation to center line, with the rear bushing sitting further inboard than the front bushing.
None of that works with my D150s frame.
Also i can not set the LCA level (which is something you want to have) and have my preferred ride height.
Gotta think about it, make some adjustments and see where that takes me.
All of this is scrap metal that we have in the shop, so no biggie if i have to cut it up and make another one.
