I will go through them tonight, I will post pics of what i have and stuff, I will let everyone know.



So my switchbox is wired up and the digital gauge is wired up, The front is completely ground down smooth, and now Im trying to figure out why my lower arm is binding, I notched it like it shows on here but its still binding, I dunno?? But with it binding I wont be able to lay flat, Worse case is I will have to get some drop spindles. Eh, well I got a new roll of wire for the welder and am starting to mock up the torsion brackets right now

You shouldn't need drop spindles. You can lay on a 24.5" tall tire with the lower ball joint flip and the trimmed arm and nothing else.

Word. In those pics you posted last night, it doesnt look like you've ground the arm at all. Also the piece that the crossmember is bolted to probably needs to be ground more. I know when we did my buddys truck we had to grind quite a bit out of those.

Well, I figured it out, My wheels were turned and the lower arm was hitting my steering linkage, it will lay no problem , So got everything measured out in the front, its 38 degrees here and were all frozen so we are done for the weekend and will start again friday, I Started the truck and started up the compressors, Impressingly quiet, and rather quick from 0-150psi, Got my gauge working but for some reason nothing is showing up on the front left just "---" any ideas?

Mounted my gauge here, wanted to mount it where Seth mounted Sparkys but I have CC so, I opted for this side instead, Seth these plastics are going to look waaay better thank you!

Glad they will work for you.

When I wired up the gauges I got a similar reading, and it turned out that it wasn't grounded correctly on that corner.

I was gonna say check the grounds. Or if that doesnt work try hooking up the wires from a different sender and see if it works then.

Hows the visibility when having the gauges mounted there?
