Re: Suggestions on What I've Got?

So, I've finally tacked in my bridge. I originally hoped to dimple die and box some 12 gauge sheet, but I was worried about clearance. Maybe my next frame off build.

My frame plates were cut by a local off-road shop, Krawltex, and I installed and I mocked up my upper links tonight. I cycled the suspension and nothing appears to bind. The pinion angle seems to stay constant through the suspension cycle. I'll finish weld everything as well as flip the frame over once I complete the front suspension.

The first three pics are at full stuff and the last three are at my target ride height.













Next up, these...



And the wheels I'm thinking about running. I have 9 sets of these but I may do some horse trading for Dodge 20" spares since my Ford 9" is already the 5x5.5 bolt pattern...

It's just one of those things. I'm not getting any more.
