Today I spent the whole day in the garage and made a huge mess!!!

Pictures:
1. Upper and lower brackets tacked in place. The upper bracket is 1/4" the lower one is a Ridetech over-axle bracket.
2. Both brackets in place. I welded around the top and underneath the upper bracket. After welding I painted the brackets.
3. Installed upper bags, I need to change the fitting to an "L" fitting 3/8 line. Nothing like originally cutting off the shock brackets on the axle, only to re-install them!!!!! The shocks are Belltech rear drop shocks. When aired-out, the shocks still have 1' inches of travel left and when totally aired out, there's still a couple inches left; should be good at ride height.
4. Tires/wheels on.
5. Top-down view. Im still playing with the panhard bar. The bracket attached to the frame is a Ridetech bracket that I cut down. The bracket on the axle housing is a racing bolt-on panhard bracket.

All trial and error!!!! Bags will flatten out with more weight. The bags are Dominator D2600 by Airlift Performance .

Thanks Mike
4 Link setup looks nicely executed, cool setup! Interested in hearing how she performs!
