Walking beams for stock suspension
 

I was asked to make up some walking beams a few days ago so I came up with these.

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

I got these back from coating today and tested one set in my truck. They seem to work really well.:cool:

I have one more set available and will make more if there is demand. $75US plus shipping...

those will look great on the sleeper!!

I got these back from powder coating today. For those that have expressed interest in buying some, there is still uncertainty as to whether Canada Post is going to strike or not. There are other means of shipping these out but the cost is significantly higher. I will have them ready to go as soon as things get sorted out. If anyone else is interested please let me know and I will set them aside for you.

Thanks, Reg

Beside being able to haul as much as your axles will allow with these they look so much better than stock, the stock springs look so thin and out of scale. Great job.

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

Thank you kind sir.

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

I still have a few sets of these ready to ship if anyone is interested.

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

I have three or four sets of these left from this batch. They are ready to ship if anyone wants them:)

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

I'd like to ask you what kind of prop shaft are you using with your walking beams.
The reason I'm after this info is due to constant problems I've had with stock dog bone shaft and even short Hercules hobby shaft that are constantly popping out.
That said, I forgot to mention that I have raised my Scania R620 by ~10mm.
I think that walking beam approach will greatly reduce this issue, am going in correct direction?

Big- can you pull those shafts apart when they aren't installed?

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

Nice video.
By the sounds of it I assume that you are running SPI GRU too? Or some other GRU?

Is like to see the shafts if you have a picture of them.

they will pull apart if you over flex the springs I guess its never happened to me. that truck has a rc4wd 4:1 gru
the other truck has a pmd 4:1 and the cab over has the spi gru. they are steel shafts

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

Hey Mark, are both style bumpers hollowed out in back?

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

I've made up a more simple version of these that I can sell at a more affordable price. These ones don't have as much detail but I will sell them for $45USD a pair shipped vs $75USD for the original ones. If anyone is interested in them please let me know. These are a direct bolt on. No mods necessary!

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

I am making another dozen of these if anyone is interested.

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

Killer hubs :D

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

I'll take a set!!

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

Is there any more info on the hubs or were they a one off ?

Cheers Tracy

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

Quite literally perhaps.:eek:

Of beams or hubs?

I just did these up for myself but if there was enough interest I'd see what I could come up with. Probably would be a different caliber though.

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

Ready to go!

$40USD per pair plus $5USD shipping.

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

I miss the U Bolts of the first version!

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

Me too but they take forever to make manually and therefore have to cost twice as much. I have had a few people ask about them though so I may make another batch in the future when I am more caught up on other projects.

Re: Walking beams for stock suspension
 

I made up a few more sets of these walking beams. I only have one pair of the Version 1 beams but I have a few of the V2 beams left.

Prices are as follows,

V1 pair- $80USD plus $10USD shipping

V2 pair- $45USD plus $10USD shipping. I can send at least two pairs of these for the same shipping cost.
