    I have a pair of rollers that came with the front axle when I picked it up. I am hoping I can use those and swap from front to back with my actual tires to get it out. Other option for the front is back off the coilovers and ride out on the bumps :cool:

    Thanks!

    Frame is about 2" higher right now up front than ride height will be, should be around 24"-25" with 4" and-some-change of uptravel.

    I never saw it mentioned...

    You're using what? 7/8 1 or 1.25? heims for the panhard and upper link and 2.5 JJs on both ends of the lowers?

    Link lengths?

    Just curious...

    Oh and on some of the mounts it looks like you used weld washers, on others you didn't. Is that needed, what's the deal there?

    Thanks!

    Thanks!

    The joint sizes are dictated by the threaded shank. So...

    all the heims are 7/8" heims, and the JJ are 1.25".

    Everything has weldwashers, not necessary to resist tear-out since all the brackets are 1/4" already, but its part of the theme of my build is overkill.

    Nothing ever broke from being overbuilt. :D
