Got started on the rear lower trailing arms. Had to build a quick fixture to make sure they all come out the same. Got the rear lower link mount tabs tacked in place. this setup will give us 13.5 inches of up travel and 6.5 down for a total of 20 inches. that is double what the lil bastard had I can't wait to abuse this thing. We also got the front link mount finalized and set in place. It will have 10.5 inches of up travel and 6 down. Should be enough to get the job done I hope.

Few over all shots the rear is at full compression. Front is at ride height. Shocks are close to the angle they will be mounted.

You can't even see all the beef he has in these rear links... there is a solid aluminum bar hiding inside these as well! Took some funny pics while I was there last Sunday of Jason (Slowrocker) showering Bastards a$$ with sparks from the chop saw while Aaron was trying to weld the threaded bungs in the links... Was pretty funny because Aaron didn't even stop welding just gritted through it... The pics came out too dark on my phone so you will have to believe me.
