This bedcage is now bolted in the bed.. I will pull it out and sell it once I get the cab cage done and tie into the rear of the truck..
I am doing a single swing steering set up on this truck.. It's my first one, I will be posting my progress especially on the steering because I noticed its a area that hasn't been touched on too much in this forum.

Thanks, I can't wait to see it done!
I am hoping to have it done this month..I just need to finish the driver beam, build radius arms finish engine cage and mount shocks and limits. Then modify the pitman arm and mount my swinger and build tie rods.. I have all the parts sitting here.. Just need more time.. I am running 14" SAW coil overs by the way. I should be able to cycle 20" of wheel travel but I will never need it, so I will strap it in the 18" range..

I had 10" SAW coil-overs but they are going to be way too short for this truck. So I ordered 14" bodies and shafts.. I'll convert my shocks for around $240 plus coils.

Heres my steering swinger and radius arm pivot box...
These were built by KelFabCreations here in california. The owner is a awesome guy with great prices..
He also cut out some of my plates for the beams on a CNC plasma table.

Okay I have a question for you guys.. I've been looking into the STX High Rider drop brackets due to having wanting to keep my center u-joint angle happy.. How much does a pivot drop help? Remember, My beams are corrected for 4.5" of lift at the lower BJ, therefore at ride height I that joint will be at more of an angle then it was at stock.
