Looking good Kev. I like the PVC driveshaft. I hear that stuff is the rave.
What's your up travel going to be? I had to cut my rear crossmember center section to lower the links to get the enough clearance for 5" of bump.

i saw you did that, right know where it sits theres 7'' from the top of the joints to the bottom of the floor, i am gonna do 5'' uptravel with a 3'' air bumpstop, and 14'' rock equipment fat shaft, airshocks for the rear, which should be done this weekend if the rain stays away till sunday eve, wish i would have cleaned out the garage and done this in there, but it was so nice out when i started....

thanks Geeb. im tryin, this fabricating stuff is a PITA, i have a new respect for the big fab guys, it takes some major patience, and skill, oh and money, to get stuff to look as good as a rig like Andrews, i figure i just wont ever park next to him..LOL...

I sell cars all the time that have the wrong badges on them, like Limited, XRS, Sport. But that is way over the top.

Eek, now that's bad!

[xjkevin]

started on the upper mounts that are inside on the floor, i used angle iron and sliced the floor at the frame, so half of it is welded to the frame underneath and the other half is welded on top, should be strong enough....

[xjkevin]

got it all clean.
