Flsc
So after being a pipe fitter and welder, mechanic , doing flsc was a no brainer.... well i now realize doing them with jackstands suck. Looking back on my career and thinking WOW i have done way worse in crap locations laying in mud getting rained on.
I now know my level of tolerance is exponentialy proportional to either pay or helping someone else! |
Re: Flsc
Did you get any pics?

Re: Flsc
Not yet, what did you want pics of ?
I have to fix some cracks in the torque boxes and add reinforcement kits to each and weld them in |
Re: Flsc
I hope you had the jacks under the suspension points only... theres definitely a lot of welding to do

Re: Flsc
This aint my first day at the rodeo lol. Full tank of fuel jack standa under shock mounts in back and front on coil spring seats (this is how i fit my fluffy self under it anyways ) then added 260 lbs ballast to the drivers seat and worked the suspension to settle it to normal ride height. Just like setting up race cars i have worked on in the past.

Op- which connectors did you use? Paint or powdercoat? Like them so far? |
Re: Flsc
Well i have been busy with work and had a few minutes today to do the passenger side.
Welded drivers side with .023 and 100%co2 and was a bunch of headaches getting it to run smooth with the 2 different thickness metals. Passenger side .035 c25 smoothed out the running issues and made a mistake of forgetting the seat bracket. P.s. it was a nightmare to get it in. With the evap and brake lines in the way. I just put primer on will take pictures after the white goes on. |

Re: Flsc
Now onto reinforcing the torque boxes and swapping out the lower control arms with mm extreme lowers. And still deciding which set of uppers to use.

Re: Flsc
Unless I'm all backwards looking at your photo, I've never seen FLSC extend so far back. I've installed a few sets, and they always end here. There is also a weld plate included with the connectors for the rear at the forward lower control arm mount.

Re: Flsc
Well finished drivers side lower torque box reinforment and realized my bone head mistake. 2 am shopping on lmc for lower control arms was a bad idea. I ordered -98 lower control arms ( 1/2 inch hole instead of 14mm)
So now waiting on a 9/16 drill bit. P.s as a side note weldthrough primer dosent agree with tig welding. |
Re: Flsc
Since someone asked i ran 104 ipm and 16.4 volts on the mig welder
