Yes visibility is the biggest advantage. Ride height with my 40's the belly will be 20" off the ground. At full compression belly should be 8 inch off the ground. This is with 12 inches of up travel in the rear and 20 inches total. The front will be 10 up 16 total or right around there.

Well picked up a box full of parts from the lazer cutter last night. got most of the tabs for the front suspension links done today. The main tabs are 1/4" and the reinforcement plate are 1/8" . The winch plate is also 1/4". The flat tabs will be for the lower link mounts. Will be running 1" rod ends on the axle side and 7/8 on the chassis. The boxed towers are for the uppers and will be using 3/4 rod ends.

Slowrockr came down today also and got some of the 1 1/4 support tubes fitted. We should have the seats mounted tomorrow and most of the 1 1/4 tube fitted also.

Well got some more done today. I finished up the front lower 1" link mounts started to modify the passenger front seat and started mounting the drives seat. Slowrockr showed up and got some more tube work done. We have probably 90% of the tube work coped and fitted right now. So next will be the front suspension links the build the shock mounts. Enjoy
