Hehe.... those black steelies are freakin' INSANE! Nice work, brother. If you had some thin white walls and push through center bullets to match I would bow to your excellence.

Re: Got some work done

are you going to run a track bar? or is there enough angle on the upper arms to laterally locate the axle? do you know the angle?

Honestly I think the guy who installed it F'd up. If you look at where the rearend hooks up to the drive line that angle looks way off. He installed the 4 link with out having the engine and trans in the truck. I was told that had to be in the truck so you could find the angle the rearend needs to be at

Are your arms adjustable ? If not then you might have an issue

Re: Got some work done

I am going to be running bags if you look at the pic you see the pinion angle is slightly pointing up. And no they are not adjustable

Re: Got some work done

Kewl rig.

Your options are 2 fold ...
1. cut the mounts loose .... lots of xtra work.
2. Make the 4 bars adjustible ... easily done with some weld bungs & adjustible hiem ends.

Great stance though ...
