[QUOTE="mcutler, post: 698604, member: 1641"] Two full days (but only about 8 hours of actual labor????).... Lots of brainstorming, cigarettes, Pepsi, mountain dew, pbj's and ramen noodles, pulling tape, plumb bobs, drawing, sketching, more brainstorming, leveling, raising, lowering, leveling again, stiff legging, stoking the woodstove, another cigarette, brainstorm...ehh, you get the picture.... Anywho, it has achieved its new full bump. Any further would require channeling the motobilt rear back half, and pizza cutting or channeling and plating the front frame ahead of the motor mounts. New bump position with 0 psi in tires: (trusses are welded to stanchions and the frame- for repeatability of correct height through any suspension action. But they are accessible to break free easily, and clear of area for bump stop can mounting). 16.25 belly 1/4 clearance on metal contact at all 4 corners Planning for 6+" up travel for a rough net belly height of 22.5" Channeled the bed and floor for upper link clearance Removed center grill support to allow for truss clearance Still need to adjust the spread on the front upper links for a little more motor clearance [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180130/4dbbcc3241b8c3b2bec1bc1029969b83.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180130/5d5d0b26419814508ed452b089f126a8.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180130/aec3da910b6a2b76c3f123a1db45121d.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180130/78975ef4bf085d6d4704e298b417ec05.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180130/d1ceff6d4ba45f55c59aac2172357c7e.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180130/ef2b1d5789a8f6fb589b6783cebd40e7.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180130/5cc2ac1e5e734190a7c80a93296e51bf.jpg[/IMG] Matt Sent from my SM-G925R4 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
