i decided to see how much the sway bar would hurt flex.
With sway bar

Without

that's not all of the flex. i went until i heard the spring pop out. :twisted: the shocks are too short and so are the brake lines.

these will help with the shock problem with F250 shock mounts and some rancho 9012s.

as far as the brake lines i have a couple of ideas on how to get more travel out of them.

Looks good, what did you use to make the radius arms?

[holshotracer]

its 2"x2"x1/4" square tube.

Looks good! Who did the welding? Looks real professional.

In the Frog I just moved the Brake hose location on the frame down lower and used stock hoses. That way if a hose gets ripped in two I can get one anywhere.

[holshotracer]

i did all the welding:woot: i got the brake lines now relocated so that they're under the frame rail. i'll post some pics after this weekend.

[Mutant Pony]

Awesome! keep up the good work.
Hopefully, I'll have some good pics sun. night.
