    SUA Progress. Getting closer:fingerscrossed:
    • Frame plates are done
    • I got the frame and axle perches done. Super difficult to align/straighten out when I dont trust any reference point off the frame
    • Rough measurements are around 18” travel before adding bump and droop.

    Just noticed you boxed all the way past the gas tank crossmember... :popcorn:

    That's the best way to do it imo. Just weld the crossmember in after plating. In hindsight that's what I should have done, but I was in a koh rush

    Oh I 100% agree, I did it the same way. Especially when getting a sheet of 4x8 3/16" was like $60 more than the TG kit when I did it in 2019. Just giving subtle pokes that now is a good time to raise the tank if the stock tank is being kept. :boink:

    Raising the tank as much as possible is the current plan! Going to be janky but its temporary. Long term I will be making a fuel cell n the rear.

    Fuck yes!

    I believe @slander is in the process of doing it too. #liftedtankgang

    My lift plates on the crossmember felt janky but still more than strong enough to hold a tank up. Shit my xmember doesn't even support the exhaust anymore. And the xmember really doesn't square the frame up anymore, there are 2 other xmembers that do that on mine.

    Did you remove/relocate the Evap box?
    Seems to me that is the main item preventing getting the tank further up

    But… why would you need to raise the tank, bro?!

    That looks well put together. Wonder if he'd sell me just the evap relocate pieces. The tank crossmember lift will have to be custom due to my frame being boxed in

    Ignore the sketchy mounting. It is temporary to pull measurements and get some custom hoops bent
