[Stang5lgt]

And here is a universal chart so you can build whatever you want and find a bushing to fit it.

For your control arms axle end use these.

If you want I can throw a scrap piece of 2" DOM .250 wall in with your other parts. Just need about 4" of it to make the ends.

i looked into doing that, but DOM is hard to find around here and fawking out the ass expensive when you do find it. sending you a PM in just a sec.

bushings are on the way from summit. i need to use them more often. it was only $5 for "delivery/handling fees" and free shipping. $21.xx shipped to my door. not bad

gonna try to get my arm metal this friday i hope. we'll see if i can get a chance to leave work early.

Used to be they charged $12 handling fee no matter what you got I think too many people complained so they started doing 5 dollar handling I thought that was more reasonable. They ship super quick too.

well, dude decided that he didnt wanna part out his SAS'd ranger, so no t-case yet. i do have some leads on some others though.

i did some work yesterday, it was 105 though, so i only worked for about 2 hours. stang's package of goodies showed up on friday:

so i took the coil buckets out to start modding them. should be able to get them done today.

got my lower shock mounts in too

 

[Stang5lgt]

Sweet! You can keep that hot stuff there. It has cooled down some here finally.

 

[88_Eddie]

i just worked for about an hour....it's too damn hot right now. it's already 92 with 60% humidity. i was drenched when i came in. i did get the coil retainer tubes done, just need to tack them into the buckets. i'll also got the axle bushings done too., now i just need my tube for the arms....pics later

 

[88_Eddie]

work from sunday

lower bushings made

coil retainers, just need to put everything together and tack them in. it's such a pain to keep taking the buckets in and out. getting close though

 

[Stang5lgt]

Woohoo looking good!

To make my upper link on the radius arm I used a Currie JJ cause I had it already and then Currie bung 1.5 .120 wall HREW. To make the axle end I took a chunk of 2x2 square then cut pieces of flat stock to make the end. Used the chunk to 2x2 to make the shape. You just lay the plate around the 2x2 and tack it. Then pull it off and weld it up works like a champ.

$230 for just the uppers

i'm only using one upper as well, on the drivers side. it cost me about $50 for mine. that's buying DOM from ruffstuff as well as a heim kit.

the lower arms will cost me less than $100 a piece when done (EDIT-guess i should add, that's if i can find a good deal on the 2x2 box tube.....i have a line on it, but nobody answers when i call.)

Yea I bout shit at the price of those things...
