CHRIS67GMC · 04-25-2012, 08:09 PM

I am really enjoying your build looks nice but not as nice as you in your bikini in post 11.

I'm digging this.

Looks awesome. Are you planning to notch the frame at all or do you think you will be low enough without it? What about bump stops?

Steve

CHRIS67GMC · 04-26-2012, 01:03 PM

No notch in the frame we raised the rails 5.5 inches. There will be a bump stop above the axle. It should be 2 inches off the ground aired out.

CHRIS67GMC · 04-26-2012, 06:20 PM

Small update put the back brace on the housing. Got most of the panhard bar set up done.

Put it on the ground to see how it looks. It will sit about a inch lower when done.
