Toyota Tacoma Custom Rear Suspension - Project Lowlife Taco

13. After all of the pieces were cut out, the edges were then smoothed and deburred.

14. Once all of the link pieces had been clamped together, Max began to slowly tack each piece and slide them into place.

15. Here's a look at what the lower link bars would look like.

16. After both bars had been tacked together, Max fully TIG-welded everything to perfection.

17. When the bars were finished, they were set inside the framerails for a little mock-up, so as to see how the suspension setup would look.

18. After the links and mounts were built, Max measured out the lower bar-tab placement and tacked them into place. Once both bars were tacked into place, the travel was simulated to make sure everything was correct, then the tabs were fully welded.

What's this? Another break already, Max? Come on, back to work!

20. In order to tie everything together, a crossmember was built to run the upper link bars to and to make certain everything had stayed below the notch height.

21. The crossmembers serve more than one purpose, as the bell crank shock mechanisms are also mounted to it. Here you can see the tricky shock setup and 'bag placement for this one-of-a-kind setup.

22. Here's a quick example, for those of you with a little imagination, of what the truck would look like after it had been laid out.

23. While the work was almost done on the back-half, Nate from Defiant Customs gave a helping hand on the body-drop to help get the truck to the Forbidden show.

24. And there you have it. A team effort and Project Lowlife was on the ground with a one-of-a-kind Bio Kustumz back-half.

25. While simple in nature and function, this unique back half looks as good as it performs.
