Bedcage Building Basics
5. The chassis was then hoisted into the air with a hydraulic lift, letting the suspension cycle downward until it reached full "droop." James then took several measurements to determine how much travel the rearend would cycle through with the new leaf springs. Once he knew how much travel was available, we ordered the appropriate-length dampers from Sway-A-Way and determined how tall the upper shock mounts needed to be. This also helped us determine how tall the bedcage needed to be built. In the end, this suspension would cycle through 16 inches of useable travel.
