    Do they have any kinematics/engineering info that comes with the kit? or is it a one off?

    I did a really cool floating/pushrod UCA one time that eliminates the challenges of front motor trucks... idk if I have pics but I could draw it up real fast.

    Did a rough assembly of the spindle/hub/Dana 44 just to familiarize myself with the anatomy of it

    I’m not shitting you
    I’ve been waiting on these stupid plates that allow you to lockout your lower control arm making all your adjustments from the upper control arm and the tie rod

    Well I’ve been waiting on them since I posted the pictures of the front kit.
    They just showed up today.... and they are cut to shape
    But there is no hole in them to center the arms.....

    So
    Gonna try and make it work to do initial install and cycling the suspension soon

    Then it’ll come off and go to Cerakote and then final install
