Unfortunatelly I cant move the uppers in any more because they would kill my oil pan under compression. Why would my front axle move all over the place? I understand it wont be as stable as the rear, but the lowers are severly triangulated and should provide enough leverage to keep the front axle centered under load.

You need 40* of triangulation to keep it from moving side to side. Do you have that much between the two lowers?You do want you uppers to triangulate the opposite way from you lowers.

Looks to me like the uppers could come in at the axle end and still have plenty of pan room.
I agree the engine could sit back more and solve allot of problems.
Looks mean tho.:beer:

I cant move the engine back at all, If I did there would be no place to mount the seats. As for the links I have 44 degrees triangulation in the lowers both front and rear, I ran this same setup on my other rig for four years without any problems.

Just run it and if its a problem change it down the road, thats what building a rig is all about right? If something dont work change it:awesomework:
Not trying to bust your balls man. Its looking good . Just trying to throw some suggestions out there. When building a chassis these are thing you needed to take into consideration before building it. That chassis would kick ass on a set of 60s for sure but your using rockwells so you pretty much needed to build the chassis around them. From watching other build these is the only experience I have in this so my word really means nothing. I have bult quite a few rigs but never a chassis. Keep up the good work.:awesomework:
Dont sweat it. If I didnt want my work questioned and critiqued I wouldnt put it on the internet for all the world to see.
We got the front bump stop finished and both front coilovers installed with brackets mocked up. Still lots of bracing needs to be done for the coilover mounts and all the links need to be boxed. I ended up having to move the upper links back straight in the front, I did this because they did not clear the springs once on the coilovers with the steering at full lock. It came out pretty good though and has a quit a bit of articualtion.

if anything raise the motor and trans up an inch or so
I didnt get squat done this weekend, too much other crap to do . Tonight I got the rear bumpstop finalized and welded up the front shock hoops. I still have to snake some 1 1/4 tube off of them for a down support but that will take some careful planning since its such tight quarters in the front. Tommarow I'm going to start on the rear hoops.

By the looks of the pic that motor could go back a few inches. Startin to look kick ass bro.:awesomework:
Oh i see why now. The transfer case sets pretty high.
Just finished installing the shock hoops and brackets in the rear. I flexed out all four corners and the shocks clear everything. I also went ahead and popped the fuel cell in to make sure it would fit, now its time to make a floor pan.:cheer:
