So the only real option is to build from parts and adapt from other makes.

Interesting project. Thanks for sharing a build thread.
You have probably considered this, but more travel will probably mean your brake flex hoses will need to be lengthened to avoid overstressing them at full droop. I have had good luck with Techna-Fit hoses. Techna-Fit is easy to work with when it comes to custom configurations and are reasonably priced. They built my custom AP front hoses, providing me with an un-crimped sample initially so I could sort out the banjo fitting clocking angle, and them making me a couple of sets once I had sorted that out. |
Thanks for the tip. I'm sure I will be needing to.
So much unknown but for me that's the fun part. I'm excited about the back end I have about all the parts I need.
I'm thinking of keeping the OEM trailing arm for something to break away on a big impact.
