Is that pan hard going to work with such a huge travel? Im trying to get mine setup, and a panhard seems to move left and right a long way from up to down, so I think im going the Watts direction.

Other question, again with such travel, what did you set as your pinion angle with the 4 link??

All the way dumped it moves 1/4 inch, I set the pinion at 3 degrees but it can be adjusted wherever we need it once I get the motor and trans all set up

Frame is looking good. The dually will work nice. Just bought f450 and we had no Idea there was a trailer behind her. The dually pulls so good. Really excited for you and the peg. Hope to see you at sema

Strip the whole nose? But it's already back together, rendering the question moot. Did you have a fresher clip or have that one painted? Sold the Cad yet?

finally getting the tops of the frame rails smoothed out ! I am really pumped about how smooth the rails are coming out I think they are going to be a great showcase for the Scott's IFS and the CPP brakes !
