post pictures of your sled pulling stuff, pullin hitches, suspension stops, sled stops and weight brackets!!! If there is some good stuff ill make it a sticky.
Cool stack man
:whs: i need some too. deatiled pics if you can pleaseee.Im giving this one a bump i need ideas for sled stops gotta make them tomorrow!!!
Ok thanks, i will just try to add some reinforcments to it tomorrow, like i said we have loose tracks, so alot of the same parts that break other places wont break here, or dont break as much. Ill post up what i end up doing.I completely built a new one so as to recess the hitch farther under the truck. I used a thicker wall tube and angle and also added a gusset to each side. I know a couple guys that bent there stock hitches but they were 03 and older trucks
PM Brian Jelich. He has a pretty basic one that seems to work well.Anyone got pictures of their suspension stops?
Those look good TomCrappy pics, I'll try to get some better ones up.
But, general idea is square tubing with a nut welded to top, welded to my B&W gooseneck hitch on the frame.
Grade 8 bolt up through into that nut. The head of the bolt sits in the depressed area in the plate the ubolts come through.
I have 8" bolts, that allow me to set the rear end anywhere between 1/2" over stock, to 2 1/2" over stock. If I need to allow an inch of travel I just use a 6" bolt.
I need to use a floor jack to install and uninstall, but I usually take plenty of tools to pulls with me anyway. Turns out you need 'em once in a while.
Works like a champ though. Super simple to build.
Yeah sorry i kinda forgot, they worked pretty well this weekend from what i can tell, ill take pics tonight and post them, thanks martyWhere the pix at dustin?
Perfect. LOL
simple and they work great, one bolt holds them on. They look good on the truck too, all i have is a cell pic but ill post it up, didnt take long to make either, like 1 hour start to finish, the iron shop i picked the steel up from cut them to lenght no extra charge, so all i really had to do was figure the hitch angle cut and weld it all together, very happy with them.Lovin the sled stops...
