Grounded

Haven't had a chance to update for a couple of days..

Rear suspension installed






Finally sitting on the ground!



Almost a flat belly..




It's about 5" high right now. I can lower it 2.5" on the coilovers but the springs will drop out of their perches at full droop






This is from me standing on the slider




Not on slider!!




Getting there.

Progress

Too busy for updates over the weekend. My goal was to have the truck sitting on tires. Didn't quite make it but I will tonight.

Rear shock tower in final stages of assembly



Dimpling these hole really warped the part. Took several hours to straighten it out



















I will add a removable brace from the shock tower to the harness bar
















Some pics of the front end prior to attaching it to the frame






























Tie rod to winch tray clearance at full bump!




Panhard at full stuff



Panhard mount frame side






Panhard axle side



Front structure attachment






Upper shock mounts












Full stuff









Full droop



Check the tie rod clearance



Tonight I'll put the rear shocks on and mount up the last two beadlocks.

6 days....

Frame stuff

I started welded the joining tubes in. Once those are done I'll box the open edges in.



Reinforcement plate where the crossbrace attaches the two sides
