More progress!! I am killing myself here, but it seems to be paying off!! Both arms are done and I am starting to mock everything up! So far BEFORE cutting the stock bump out I have almost 16" of travel with no clicking and 26* max angle.

Do you guys see any reason I can't just weld these up right here, I bought the cheap kit and it seems like the heim plates are a bit too short for the big arms...

I think I would tack it and have it checked for alinement. Easier to change it now than later, less grinding

I plan on doing my own alignment, I have done many a car for street and off road in the past, not really that hard...But good idea..

Well, I got it setup, toe is as close to zero as I can get it for now without having the car on the ground, I may add a bit of toe in for stability if it needs it later....but on to the pics! Oh yeah, did I mention it cycles over 18" of USABLE travel as it sits with about 3-4" of ground clearance in full bump!!!!!!! WooHoo!
