[QUOTE="Diamond B, post: 304533, member: 4484"] As mentioned above, the links are done and the axle was pivoted through the range of motion; needless to say it has more flex without binding than I have room for. Limiting factors will be driveshaft drop (having to go to double cardan driveshaft to pick up a little more flex) and wheel to body clearance (I've already highlined the rear, front maybe highlined in the future). Driver's rear and passenger rear: [url=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/diamond_b_ranch/media/Jeep/1%20Ton%20Build/2013050795134723.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v735/diamond_b_ranch/Jeep/1%20Ton%20Build/2013050795134723.jpg[/IMG][/url] [url=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/diamond_b_ranch/media/Jeep/1%20Ton%20Build/2013050795134733.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v735/diamond_b_ranch/Jeep/1%20Ton%20Build/2013050795134733.jpg[/IMG][/url] Unfortunately parts (or lack thereof) have been holding up the rest of the build, but most of them just came in this week. We are still waiting on some different coilover brackets so we can get the c/o mounted with about 10 degrees of lean to them. Once they come in the rear will be finished up (I hope) very quickly.
