i dont see why it would hurt to do your bridge. i wouldnt do the bag brackets though until the 4-link was set.

Ha! now that I think about it the cross member is supposed to be in the back so it doesn't hit my upper link bars! De De Dee! Looks like I have something to do tomorrow!

Never mind I measured and it should be fine. They make bridge kits that have two bars front and back. Anyway my frame will be on the ground before the bridge even gets close to the bars.

well i have done alot of these trucks this way and I haven't had a problem yet but you also must know that the frame is not perfectly straight back it is cocked alittle. i understand that the rear is not totally cantered and sometimes truing them up makes more problems down the road with the drive shaft but either way works.

okay just checking. i've welded fluxcore for a few years and have never had as much white as you have. most likely just some impurities in the metal. lookin good though man. ready to see the rest of the build
