Only in Cali do you see people wearing flip flops in the garage ;) Keep up the vids man, super high quality and pretty entertaining, I'm surprised they haven't taken off yet.
You can tell they've been working on this kit for a long time. Its very well thought out and designed. Yeah, a lot of guys can order all the brackets and what not, buy why waist your time designing your own kit. You would only save a few hundred bucks, not worth the gamble when you could order this tried and true kit.
@Merricks Garage, do you have a video or write-up covering the installation of Offroad Designs Dana 60 spring plate brackets? I’m trying to see if I can use them to swap a Ford Kingpin 60 into my Bronco
I was under the impression they bolted into the stock leaf spring location, essentially converting the axle from leaf to a spring/Coilovers bracket. Apparently not, lol
Oh yea sorry. Those brackets. They bolt / weld onto the axle and do make a huge difference. They incorporate the shock mount, bump stop strike pad, and the limiting strap mount all in one unit. Very cool. Go check out the ultimate Dana 60 video series I know I detail them in that!
damn, that is a tough question. I would have to go with Link suspension as I can get sausage in many varieties but link suspension comes best like this.
I guess this means that you will need new drive lines made? If so that will stink since you have just finally gotten the new front shaft problem resolved. Your truck should turn out awesome though!
do you believe you will be able to clear your tires with a 6'' lift? I have a 86 k10 I am going to ls swap this up coming summer and eventually want to do a 4 link swap too and I would like about 8'' of lift and 38's
Should do a guide/step by step video series on the link build, would really help for when I do my k5, sweet videos btw👌🏻
Sounds great, can't wait to see it👌🏻
Right on can't wait to see that thing done. That kit is ao sick!!! also it's good to see Offroad Design getting recognition on TH-cam.
That is legit! Can't wait to see the process. Been meaning to ask any upcoming part two on your smog adventure? All your Cali friends want to know!
😎👍 Can't wait to see the shakedown run!
Love the k30. Ready to put a square peg in a round hole at the king of the hammers next year in the Everyman challenge

exactly my logic. They made this right.
How much did the whole link kit cost you? Everything I'd need to do this to a stock blazer
You going to sale any of your old parts ? Lockers ? Lease springs?

Spring plate brackets? For leaf?

Brutal video thx for the info really helpful dude. Nice step up. keep on wheelin
Which is more important to you link suspension or link sausages?
damn, that is a tough question. I would have to go with Link suspension as I can get sausage in many varieties but link suspension comes best like this.
Did you go with the high clearance mid or low for the frame brackets?
High
I guess this means that you will need new drive lines made? If so that will stink since you have just finally gotten the new front shaft problem resolved. Your truck should turn out awesome though!
You should do some time lapse on the install.
When do you think you'll get to start building? I'm very exited
knees deep in it right now!
Will this work on a 1990 k5 blazer?
i tired looking on their website but i didnt see a link for a link kit. I am curious on how much it cost.
ok i see it now thank you. how much lift are you gaining from the 4 link conversion?
do you believe you will be able to clear your tires with a 6'' lift? I have a 86 k10 I am going to ls swap this up coming summer and eventually want to do a 4 link swap too and I would like about 8'' of lift and 38's
here it is 2 years later and the ORD links do not work i have been wanting to do this to my K5
how come the truss is only tacked and not fully welded
James Merrick well as long as u can weldit but if someone else purchased it would they be able to weld it

Yo buddy, pls post more DuraBlazer videos

If only you didn't have to sell your kidney for it. You probably got that TH-cam hookup though.
OFFROAD DESING IS A NICE KIT BUT WAY TOO MUCH MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN BUILD IN A SHOP FOR LESS MONEY
+CUMITA-4WD go get it then brother.
I think it’s a time vs money issue, I’m in the same place spend extra for more time later
