There was a RPU project on here a couple of months ago that had a 90 degree rear kick. Can't remember enough about it to do a search though.
I have 18" kickups but they're at 60*, I don't really like the look of 90* kickups, just my personal taste. I gusseted ALL my kickup joints with 1/4" plate, might be overkill, but I know it isn't going anywhere at all.
I agree. The reason I'm doing 90's is I'm using a pickup cab with no bed and want the axle right behind the cab. Also kind of off the topic but no point in starting a new post. Will this work?
Yes that will work cause it will act like a latter bar. Personally I wouldn't do it unless you can adjust your pinion angle.
I've got one in this... I don't have any good pics of the kickup, but it's fishplated and mega-gussetted on both angles. Almost 5k on the the ticker now and still in one piece...
