I'm sure when i wrote that i probablly did something stupid in the garage the cost me money and time, I need to get educated this trial and error stuff is expenssive. Thanks its all coming along i'm hoping to get the lower links mounted up tonight so wish me luck. i'll be posting pix as soon as something worth showing comes up.

Thanks for all the support guys <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Well I've got the crossmember links mounted but I had to call it a night when I ran into the factory CAST leaf spring perches that my sad excuse of plasma cutter barley even made a mark on, I've got a stack of cutting wheels and two dewalt grinders that im hoping will do the trick im guessing I got about and hour offf cutting to get those big nasties off and grinded smooth, nothing can ever be easy when u do it on a budge but its gotta get done. I've got pictures of the cross member but I will post all of them once the rear is finished up, its a big step for the build finally showing some promise. I am going to try and use a straight 4 link ffor the front so I can utilize the ford stock bracks on the front axle and run a 3 link when the time comes. God bless those cast perches! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

They'll come off easy with a sawzall, and a grinder.

I hope so it was a bit upsetting when the focus was getting the lower links mounted and it got a walled by the dirty cast leaf perch springs of doom!

Finally the lower links are in, I'm not going to mess with the pinion angle until the upper links are mounted up then i'm going to try and center up the rear and get it locked in place so i dont have to worry about it till the truck fires up. I've got the up tabs on order for the uppers, then i'll be mounting the rear coilover hoops to finish it up. I'm dreading the front axle, its got all the 2006 ford factory bracketry on it, thats the major reason i'll be working it into a 3link for the front since the setup up is already there. Well heres my favorite part, pictures pictures pictures!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

MERRY OCTOBER-MAS
Just got the new tabs and bolts in from ballisticfabrication, so i should be able to start on the rear upper links this coming weekend. Unfortunatley my vacation has come to an end and now I check into a brand new command this wednesday, RIVER RINE SQUADRON 2 (RIVRON 2) good it they have some really nice fast boats.

Looks like your inventory control specialist was up to the task <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Absolutley, anything that comes in a box is a present but i think she just pulled all the hardware out so she could play in the packing foam.

Maybe you'll get down this way in your career. Stennis has some of them go fast shoot em up boats.
