    I wish I was already driving it. Lol. There is so much stuff left to do...


    Discount weekend at pick n pull, so I picked up a few things I needed. Not pictured is some stock carpeting that covers the back wall that is clean. I've never even seen that piece before. Got the upper bars placed how I wanted, so I welded the tabs on and removed the scrap holding the axle to the frame.

    I believe it was from a BMW 5 series. It will need to be modified, but its the perfect shape to fit where I need it to.

    It was too wide for my needs, so I narrowed it in the center. But I needed it narrower to clear the control arms and oil pan. I'm sure on a 4WD truck, or 2WD with stock arms and strut rods, it could be made to fit pretty easily.



    Machined some lower shock mounts and got the shocks on today.

    Everyone likes videos right? Here is a video of the suspension travel. Does over 8" lift with the shocks right there, will limit it to 8" even to keep them from being fully extended.
