We are going to keep it as low as we can, he wants to run it in the trails and the woods with all his friends, right now we are looking at running 14 inch coilovers on it.
 
If he plans on skinning it, I'd make sure to go with something light. Thats a lot of area to cover! Looks good, looking forward to seeing it come together.
 
Well we are about done with our part of this build, customer is coming to pick it saturday and finish it himself from here. I guess you down south guys will see it out on the trail, the owner is from Nashville, Tn Here is were she site now.

Damn that chassis is big. Those 49's do not look that huge in the pics. What will ride ht. be and belly pan clearance?

Oh, nice last pic pepper.gif
 
I set the 14 inch coilovers for 5 inches of colps. and 9 inches droop. the springs are too much right now. I told him to finish it and then we would play with weight for springs, set tooo high right now, belly pan is set for 28 1/2 inches at ride height, it is higher now in the pic's I posted

Re: Tennessee 4 seater build up!! She is going to be BIG!!

nice assembly of parts you have going there
how many vendors are you supporting with this build
builders names like for the
tube work ?
motor ?
tranny ?
brackets/tabs ?
axles ?
and so on
looks like you have laid out top dollar for your parts list
do you use the same venders for all you builds or do you change them up ?
i like your assembly builds (nice work)
 
We build all our own chassis, at this shop and at the Colorado store. Between the two of us we now have 8 different chassis to choice, three 48 inch 2 seaters, two 54 inch two seaters and a few different way to build a four seater like the one here. We are dealers for just about everthing between the two of us so we can give the customer about anything we wants. The customer on this built had his own motor, we build trannys at the colorado store, so we did the TH 400, I got the Stak. Customer had the axles and coilovers. We have all our own tabs and brackets cut, many to resale, some I have custom cut like the ones in this build. We buy time from a couple of different people for our cutting. We have our own bumpers and link brackets cut also. We use alot of PSC stuff but we do use others also. We also use turn Key for alot of our motors in build ups, but I jsut got tied into a deal here close that I will be offering Gen. 3 type motor for a steal, they are used but some as low as 1700 miles on them. We do alot of custom tube bending here, most of it is done by me but Grant has step up here alot the last few weeks. The phones rings here alot so I dont always have time to go in the back and walk them through it all. We set up most of our 4 links the same way, not like this four seater, so it makes it pretty easy to knock them out fast and we keep most tabs, brackets, heims and the like in stock so we dont have to wait on stuff if we have builds to do. We use alot of axle from Solid, Currie and a couple from Spyder Tracks, we set up all our own axles, gears, lockers and the like, pretty much a do it all shop, If I cant do it, I'll find someone who can and get it done. This four seater was built in Colorado by Jason at the Jimmys 4x4 store. We will have our new 54 inch 2 seat done here in a couple of weeks, if not sooner.
 
Hubs are on the back, he will finish it up when he gets in home. And yes I think he is going with the big shfats, sorry I am not a rockwell guy, dont know much about them but I guess we going to learn quick. Got two calls yesterday to build rigs with rockwells :dunno: The customer is always right, right??
