Take it from the other side so it has less shadows.

fuck yea! do you have a build on here about it?? i would like to see your 3 link. i want to get rid of my radius arms and do a 3 link. how does it handle on the street?

My IG is @offroad_farm
It rides really good, i played around with a few different springs and sway bars. It flexes great, it needs coilovers in the future

I put 05+ axles in my gmc, i did a 3 link with barnes truss, coil springs from a 6.2 superduty

I really like this setup.

pics of taco'd AAM?

also need to see the video from your avatar. i don't have instant gram

The AAM is long gone. Pushed the passenger side ball joint about a 1/4" down through the bottom of the knuckle and broke the plug welds on the driver side tube. Tube pushed around 3/8" into the housing. Looked like a clapped chevy 1500 with how much camber the front end had in it.

Sorry to bump this, but did the OP do anything to keep the ABS active or did you just delete it? I want to do the same SD60 (mine's out of an '09) swap but into a 2nd Gen Cummins but would like to keep the ABS for driving in snow/ice.

Do you have 2 wheel or 4 wheel ABS? Most 2ndgens have rear (2 wheel) type, in which case you dont have to worry about it.

Not going to lie...kinda hoping that's the case. I'll check tonight when I get home.

EDIT Just checked....yep; 4 wheel ABS.**

OP, any futher progress?
Grendal ?
If it shows up, I have an 08 f350 axle I would like to fit under 07 dodge 3500. Going to use srw and live with two spares.

I polished a turd. I kept the Dodge 60 under it. New axle shafts, EMFball joints, Synergy steering, 2019 brakes, etc.

Very nice. I wish there's something off the shelf to bolt on the big brakes from newer Ram HDs on 94-99 Dodge D60s.

Yeah, you'd have to go with the bastard D60 from a 2000-2002.
