just finished welding up the ram mount/axle bumper. need the steering arms, need longs, once i get the arms i can re-do the tie rods. as soon as i get the brackets ill mount the axle under the truck and basically just be waiting on steering and longs. and i really hope my 15" wheels will fit over the brakes. not alot of work just alot of money

finished up the ram mount/ bumper. its tubed with 1/4" plate. also welded a 3" strip of 1/8" across the bottom of the housing, cut off and welded up the drain plug, and made some lower ball gussets.

how long are your front and rear lower links? I couldnt find it reading though your build up, gathering info for the same setup youre running, 4 link rear, 3 link front with fj80 axles. Thanks man

Steve_925 · « **Reply #702 on:** Oct 18, 2009, 01:07:36 AM »

the rear lowers are 44" i cant remember if that's eye to eye or the length of the link. and the the uppers are 70% of that. the front lowers are 36" and that is the length of the link not including the joints.

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #703 on:** Oct 18, 2009, 02:22:37 PM »

Right on, thanks man! Thats the same setup I have planned. Im kinda thinkin about getting some longer links up front, 40" or so. How do you like the front susp? also what material did you use for the links?

front works awsome, the only thing that im changing is the height of the upper link mount. it didnt have enough seperation. im using 2"x1/4" wall dom

Whats the update on the new front axle?

Steve_925 · « **Reply #713 on:** Oct 28, 2009, 10:51:48 PM »

all the brackets are welded on. i just put it under the truck today, i had to be able to move it for our halloween party. so i still have to take it back out make some steering stops, paint it, get longs, steering, and reasimble. mostly waiting on money for steering.
also did some new front end work, i'll get a pic tomorrow.

P-DiseToy24 · « **Reply #714 on:** Oct 29, 2009, 09:50:03 AM »

what did you decide for steering.

Steve_925 · « **Reply #715 on:** Oct 29, 2009, 08:00:29 PM »

I've been trying to get a RHD steering arm but have had no luck, so im gonna save up for the slee steering

Steve_925 · « **Reply #716 on:** Oct 29, 2009, 08:40:41 PM »
