    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    I got the links all mocked up today everything is tacked in place with heavy tacks. It looks pretty good I will have to modify the motor mount to get the 5" up I want as well as a few more other things. I set the caster to 7* and I'll see how that is i couldn't really find any info on what the SpiderTrax knuckles like to be set at so i just set it there. One thing I didn't like is the guy that I bought the axle from set the pinon angle at damn near 90* it's about 86* with a 7* caster. I'm thinking he set it up for a Hi-9" being so low it shouldn't be too bad.

    "Some"? Shit, judging by the looks of your truck it's going to be a fat stack of 100's. I'll let you throw a solid axle on the front of my truck if you cut me a deal for running window decals for your shop all over my truck :D

    Not much to report tonight did some test fitting on the IFS box and the drag link and I'm going to have to cut the frame :( I don't like where it's sitting so I'm hacking it up tomorrow and building a new section from the motor mounts forward. Here is how high the new section will sit.

    Oh and some cutting it's just a rough cut but the IFS box fits nicely :D

    I won't lie, I still don't know what all the words next to your pics you post mean. I just like looking at the shiny new parts :) It's like I'm in first grade trying to read books all over again.

    Lol

    The frame is 2x3 x188 wall tube and it will be plated with 1/4" plate so i think it will be strong enough. And the ifs box is tapped for hydro so yep :D
