Doug's 'Bruiser' The Re-do - REAR

Main Parts Engine Body Interior Other

Doug had just installed the new Shark Bite suspension kit before the re-do started.  Since the Shark Bite is unproven on big power setups Doug chose to go back to a more traditional rear suspension setup.  He will be using a Tom's 12-bolt setup with a steel spring and offset trailing arms.

Patrick likes to use precision tools.....as you can see.

Dave helping drop the entire rear as a section.

Poor Bruiser is starting to look a little like a basket case.

Parts began arriving.  Most all of the rear is laying on the bench ready to be installed.

The 12-bolt was originally built in Florida but when Doug received it we found many problems so it was sent of to Mike Dyer in Dallas.  Mike did some outstanding work and re-did the diff, put together the trailing arms, and helped install it all.
