I just got done reading this build-up and all I can say is: DAMN!!

Nice work man!! That looks like it is coming along nicely. Maybe I missed a follow - up thread but I was just wondering how this is coming along and if you ever got it finished and tried it out. Keep us posted... when you're done your truck is going to kick ass on the trail.

Have you wheeled it yet?  I had concidered building a simular suspension but ended up going with a four link...   I was just wonderin how you liked it?    Is it prone to body roll or spring unloading?   Sorry for 20 questions just never been around this suspension setup...

I'll try to get something together soon.  Right now I'm dealing with getting screwed on some ring and pinion set up.  Tires are here, after I get those on and get it back together I can see what I gotta do for limiting straps.  Soon Guys, i hope.
