The Red Devil Ranger. Trail Rig build.


I would either move the box or change pitman arms. Axle placement looks good.
 
Do many people have to move the box? It looks like a huge PITA.
 
Just depends on how far forward you want to go, I moved mine 4-5 inches and deffinantly have to move mine.
 
I believe a flat pitman arm is what ya need....

Well, decided to update you guys on some minor things we've done lately.

(Sorry for the blurry pictures, the shop is dim and the camera doesn't focus very well in low light. :BangHead: )

We've gotten the axle cut and painted, going to get the gears set up this weekend.
