Thanks MOG, i've seen that and a few other kits, but all I need is the solid 4, 5 or 6 inch solid round bar then bearings to slip over the bar to make my own. I can bend, cut and weld up everything else. I can also pick up some solid round bar, so really just some heavy bearings of brass inserts...

I am going to go with the 4 point style. I have been looking for a pivot point idea, ie 4,5,6 inch-ish solid steel bar and a bearing to slide for the bar as the pivot point. I even thought about using the center point from a big rig tandem axel setup. Making the actual subframe is easy, the...

Mog- LOL, im glad you feel my pain. Logos are fine when unobtrusive, we are buying the product not a darn logo.... Thank you Sir...

And in the box was the bumper. Their build time for my truck right now is 6-8 weeks.... They love their logo, holy cow it's Youge!!!... I like the bumper though.. My tube bender could never bend this diameter of tube... They did not not fully welded at all junctions though, Kinda a bummer but I...

Very cool box for the truck made it today, its almost as long as my jeep TJ..... Love it.... . .

Got the tires on the wheels this weekend. The rear Kelderman 4 link kit showed up palletized, 800 pounds of goodness, compressor included. Next up is taking the wheels in to my local guy and he will: - Set the beads -True the tires ( some people call it shaving the tires) to ensure they are...

Wheels are in and I ended up going with..........................5 Stazworks 40 series wheels made it in today, can't wait to mount the tires on these.... You can see the deep dish is for the rear and the shallow is for the front. The wheels are rated at 8000 pounds.... I went with Stazworks due...

Darwin, you can pick them up anywhere from 8-9 hundred plus dollars from some places all the way up to $2k a piece if you just google them, this is what I have found searching for these. Really a wide range of prices. I believe/assume that's due to blem's that are sold, Govplanet auctions ones...

Another baby step completed today... Five Goodyear G275 335/80R2 arrived today and are now in the garage, wheels should be here within the week. Compared to the stock F550 rear wheel. I also compared in the my Jeeps 35x12.5 MTR's.... . .

As an update I have been working on getting parts in. What I am finding when you orders wheels, bumpers, suspension, etc, pretty much anything for and F550 nothing is in stock, it is all made once ordered. Granted some of the stuff still on the way is special ordered. 1 - Either way, I have...

Thanks Darwin,.. I am going to cut out the fender pieces to make the 335's fit, patches come with the replacement fenders I am buying.. I'll ponder your swaybar idea... Sill waiting on Kelderman shipment... I spoke for AMP RESEARCH and then say they do not have a electric step ,set for the...

MOG, yes and the upgraded swaybar with links and bushing brackets. Ill also throw in the 2 brand new Mechanical height control valves ($350.00 value) that you use to set where you want 'level' and a single roll of airline.

Turns out not all of the Kelderman pieces I bought 2nd hand will not work for me since this is a pre 2017 kit, (I thought I could make it work but I'm going the easier route). I had to order the 2017 braketry from Kelderman. Waiting on them now. Pieces of the kit I bought new now for sale...

Foundation picked and the next build is started. Putting build on Expedition Portal here: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/2017-f-550-camper-build-ground-up.239758/ Foundation for next waste of money purchased and home:

GR8ADV - I have the 84" cab to axle. My opinion, I'm not an expert at all (aka backyard fabricator & rattle can pro-painter), but hang over needs to be thought of in 2 ways... 1) How much mass do you want swinging way out behind you. For an OverLander probably not a lot otherwise u-turns on...

LikeABoss, truck looks ready to take on the world.... So this morning looking on Kelderman website I saw that the kit I bought is for the F550 BUT only up to 2016, I have a 2017 F550, in comparison between the 2 kits I now know the sway bar won't work and the positioning of the frame brackets...

Scored a rear Kelderman 4 link kit this weekend with what appears to have all hardware, brackets, air lines, sway bar, and bags.. The guy I bought it from cut off the top bag mount plate so he could reweld it higher which would have lowered the rear of his truck. He also cut out the axle mount...

`Truck is purchased and home now... Next step is the first big purchase: - Kelderman 4 link or Single link rear, still deciding. ( I did look at Liquid Springs, but the $17k, not including shipping, was the turn off for me) - Kelderman single bags up front. - Kelderman Compressor and air Dryer...
