woot! got something done for a change

finished up the lower bag brackets first

then I threw in the new front x-member and cut the old one out so I could get the upper links in.
got the lower bag plates welded on too. But I ran out of time before the rain came to finish the rear cross member that will replace the spare tire mount

Looking good Sleepy! I finally get to drive mine, I got it registered and insured this past Friday, and got the plate mount fabbed up yesterday. I will post some pics up tomorrow. I don't love it, but I did not have to cut up my skin to do it. Keep it up though Bro. -Ed

to tell you the truth todd I have no idea, I don't have a degree finder yet. I setup the links with 3" of frame clearance from the ground. I also used 4-link calculator to design the parameters, which made me have to shorten the uppers one more time. when I tacked everything one I kept the axle at the same angle as it was when static, I never had issues there so I went with it "for now". By the time I get it ready to be on the street I should have a degree finder and be able to make adjustments if needed. I also noticed I need to notch my front cross member for the driveline before I can put 18's on it, but only about 5/16th's

thanks for the reply's guys, probably wont see much more till next weekend or so.
