6-7"s of lift est.

Coil buckets were from a 79f150
Coils are deaver superflex, 5.5 lift but they will get cut down to fit. Plan is to drive it under my 6'10 garage door...

I'm hip, and thanks for the information. I'm looking forward to watching this build!

Mocked the radius arm mounts into place, now just need to mock the gear in position and cycle the susp and see how things fit and work.

On its own weight, no jackstands. Far from finished. Everything is just barely installed to check clearances and such. But this how it'll look. The floor isn't quite level due to the drain.

Full stuff drivers side, about 2"s further then what I will allow after a bumpstop install, RF drooped as far out, wheel turned to lock left side. Over and 1" of clearance to the body. Slight rub on radius arm.

Spent about 9 hrs in the shop today busting ass on this thing. Ozziemoe was over and we did some kick ass work. Put a serious dent in the project. See the light at the end.

Whats left...

Figure out a pressure line on the p/s.
Plumb all the brakes
Replace tcase
Build drive shafts
Mount rear shocks


Then hope it all works out in the end :sonicjay:

29 hrs into the project so far.
