[QUOTE="FlatlandFSJ, post: 553099, member: 8507"] Getting closer everyday. Shocks mounted up front, still have to blow everything apart to finish weld. [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/DSCF0684_zpsjce1donv.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/DSCF0692_zpsgljftsyy.jpg[/IMG] The 3 link moved ALOT of the weight to the back of the truck, so my bastard packs had to get rebuilt. They had 4 leafs in them before, now its back up to 6 or 7. [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/DSCF0711_zpsci2vhhpq.jpg[/IMG] Turns out, rebuilding the leafs still wasn't enough and I ended up moving the shackle hanger for the 3rd time ::) [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/DSCF0717_zpsxlcdc0iz.jpg[/IMG] This could possibly be the hardest way of doing this, but I wanted a track bar and drag link that were the same length.
