I say you need less offset in the wheels. Love to see the WK builds starting to pop up more and more!!! Josh |

Awesome man.... looking real good. the wheels do seem to have a bit much offset. Need shorter shocks perhaps, or raise the upper shock mount? Or will the drive shafts work at that angle? Side note, your package will be mailed tomorrow, sorry for the delay.... I now know what boxes I cant ship stuff in, LOL!!!! |

Well the wheels-tires are what i had laying around at the moment. I have some beadlocks on their way and some different tires too All T's from Imex . I just attached a driveshaft for the front and the shaft is totally straight at the axle. No the WK tranny will be in your truck. I havent made my mind up about which shocks to use since i have about 4 or 5 different kinds to try out. Here is a picture of the drive line angle. The screws that hold the knuckles are almost at a perfect 90 degree angle. I would have a servo mount made up by now but my storage unit is closed and all my flat material is there. |

That's awesome man! I've been waiting to see a WK axle build with a K2. Those axles are really wide. Kind of has that 1:1 Jeep with fullsize Dana 60's look to it. |

Got a servo mount made up thanks to Harley0706 who was kind enough to email me a PDF file with a print and glue template. Thanks a lot . You might think it looks flimsy but it's not since it's made from Titanium and ate a lot of my dremmel stuff man that material is tough too it took me a while to bend it. Also got some new tires. Here are the pictures
