    I should clarify that you will need to cycle it at full articulation both ways to check for clearance too. The steering/knuckle on the compressed side will rise when the other side droops. Also your upper link mount will pivot left to right some and could interfere with the motor mount, frame, or motor itself.

    How did you get rust on the truck out there? You do beach runs in it?

    Not a fun process, especially trying to get a floor jack to lift high enough.

    How well is yours going together with the 4WU kit and 80 axle?

    Pretty smooth, had to (and still have to) get creative in some places but that’s to be expected. It’s a great kit so far.

    Anyone know where a square wave tachometer input source on a 1st gen with no 1st gen drivetrain sensors may be had?

    You need to worry about motors that don’t knock before you even ask about bump stops.
