[QUOTE="DobermanRacing, post: 754412, member: 15299"] Dressed the dogs up for Halloween [ATTACH type="full"]121316[/ATTACH] The front 4 link came together pretty easy. Right now everything is just tacked together. I flexed it out a little bit to make sure the driveshaft has room but it started to slide around on the jack stands so I'm going to wait til I get the rear tacked together so I don't have to worry about it falling to the ground on me. Because the engine and "frame" is offset to the passenger side I needed to balance how close the pass side upper got to the lower rail without being so far out it will contact the tire. Right now with the tires turned full lock to pass side its not even close but I do have a 1" spacer inside my ram to cut down the travel from when I had my full Traction long arms to keep it from hitting. It looks like I can pull the spacer out and get the full 10" travel out of the ram and still not hit the tire/links. [ATTACH type="full"]121318[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]121320[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]121321[/ATTACH] I attached the winch plate using 6x 1/2" grade 8 bolts so it can be removed when I need to pull the engine. [ATTACH type="full"]121322[/ATTACH] I through together these lower coilover mounts. Right now it's just the m14x2.0 bolt holding them on. I may move them on to the truss and off the inner Cs if I have room after I mount the bump stops. If I keep them where they are ill weld them to the C.
