Re: bagged burb project..

well, no pictures but an update...

replaced the front bags with new re7 slam bags and soon to be 4in cups. had to notch the frame just behind the spring pocket, so the ART lower arms would miss and get enough drop. they're straight by design, so it hits before a stock a-arm. i wasn't aware of this, but at least they look good. if i measured right the burb should lay cross member on the 29-30 tall tires i have.

i've also cut out the floor for drive shaft clearance and some small pieces to clear the 4 link so the truck will lay frame out back. after we finished getting clearance, the rear was blown apart and dad used his new torch to remove uneeded brackets from the axle.

I have also decided to call in a metal guy to finish up the floor when we're ready. dad is good friends with a guy that does good work and he has sometime coming up, so in the next week or so we should have the truck rolling again to get to him. I'll have him do the floor, notch cover, and look over the frame to see if we should add anything to support it (prolly close up the cuts made up front for sure).

Anyway, enough babbling. i'll get some pics tomorrow...
