Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam

Made a cab lift out of 2 x 4s to mount on my engine lift. Got the design off this web site. Worked perfect.

Cab is on the frame. Now I just have to make some back cab mounts out or 4x4 square tube

My buddy Chris got the headers,power steering,inner front fenders,fenders on today. Mocked up the radiator surround and radiator. Welded the rear cab mounts and bolted the cab to the frame. We got about a spray can height between the bottom of the fender and the ground with the airbag aired out.

Whats holding the front end up from setting the fender on the ground? Was it the height you mounted the cab or are the lower arms hitting the frame? Just curious because i want to get mine to lay out completely flat. Badass build by the way man

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam

I have 1 inch of bump stop left after I cut them on the lower control arms. I am planning on putting in my 2 inch drop sprindles. That will get the fenders to touch the ground. No the control arms are not hitting the frame. The cab mounts are 3 1/4" off the frame.
