Stock beam. Cut and turned 1/4". Fabricated mount for stock gas tank that I never used. Anyone want the gas tank mount? |

Bilstein 7100 shocks mounted and ready for action. I cycled the suspension with the springs out. Looks like about 9.5" of travel. Not to shabby. |

Top view of front beam with stock steering box and tie rods installed. I may end up using a rack and pinion steering set up. You can just barely see in this pic the reinforced stock spindles. I have a couple pairs of these. We will see how long they last. |
