Got a few more things done on the truck today.The torsion bars are now reindexed and doing what they are supposed to do , with a lot left for adjutment when I am ready to crank them up.I also put on the crossmember that goes under the axle , its the modified one from Joe darlington.I had to modify it a little to get it to fit , as the axle hit one corner so the holes didn't line up to bolt it on.I just ground down part of the crossmember that hit the axle , then made the holes just a tad bigger <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I also made one bumper bracket and bolted it up , still needs the holes drilled in it to mount the bumper on , and ground down a little.I started on the second , but wore out my cutting wheel , so I need to pick up another , and a couple of grinding discs for the grinder.I also mock mounted the hitch to see how it will sit.I couldn't put the bumper up as it is still tacky from the painting last night.

Anyway , heres the latest pics for today.












I am sticking the tube bumper out a little farther than the stock bumper sat , plus because of the body lift , I am making it sit a little higher than stock also , thats why the bracket is so high right now.I will be grinding the extra off once I am sure how high I want the bumper to sit , whether 1 1/2 or 2 " higher than stock.I don't want to go 3" as it is allready a little higher than stock size.
