Going by my brother's truck. His pan is beyond the center link.
We're behind it.
J said cut it til it fits.
I guess

KQQL IT · 11-30-2022, 01:33 PM

Rear back half ?
Sure dad I got that to.

Local hot rod shop bent these up for us.
Should lay pinch with a 30 inch rear tire.

Got axles coming with a 4.75 and 5x5 bolt pattern, like the hubs we have.
Should be a roller soon.

Worth every cent so far.

This should lay pinch with a 30" tire.

SCOTI · 12-07-2022, 12:15 AM

Stronger as well.

KQQL IT · 12-07-2022, 02:13 PM

Strong maybe, but it's low enough if it gets hit.
All the energy will miss the bumpers.

KQQL IT · 12-09-2022, 11:24 PM

Axles/Weld Friday night.
All while I'm stuck at work

KQQL IT · 12-15-2022, 11:11 PM

That's it.

Back half engaged

KQQL IT · 12-18-2022, 01:54 AM

KQQL IT · 01-07-2023, 12:41 AM

Caliper brackets came today

KQQL IT · 01-23-2023, 07:36 PM

I'm beginning to wonder about these bag plates.
Crossmember is 3-1/2
The bag plates are 2-1/4
Or do I even care?

SCOTI · 01-24-2023, 10:08 AM

I like the bottom plate/mount flush w/the tubing if possible. I contemplated re-working my PB lowers but left them alone in the end.

Any chance you can share the files for the uca bracket? Thanks
