Project red dragon

front bumper done!

the front bumper is all done other then some drings ill weld on later when i get some. tapped it for air hook ups to hold air too. i decided to keep the winch in the rear on a hitch receiver so when i get the 1/4 ellipt in i can suck up the rear axle on hills, ive heard 1/4 ellipts want to unload fully on down hills. if i need the winch in the front i just pull it out of the reciever in the rear put it on the front use it and put it back. plus can put it in any rig with a receiver and power hook ups.

1/4 ellipt

got the 1/4 ellipt all done i like the way it turned out moved the axles to about 98" so when i do the front suspension down the road ill move it to the end of the frame putting it at 101" my goal. i used 63" chavy half ton springs real nice and soft! dont have drivelines in so the pics were as far up that the starter could push it with the motor not all hooked up. the passenger rear tire is 4' off the ground and that spring hasnt even hit the frame yet.
