| Just keep in mind, that a stack without a rain cap =rain gauge. You will want a 90 or keep a can handy to cover it when not in use. I can do anything I set my mind to... the impossible just takes me a little longer Tech Manual mod, If ya need it, and cant find it... Just ask.... Pm if I'm not on line | |

| Lookin good bubba. I like the the way you did the link bracket on fram. What goin on with it now. Lets see it. And one question. Do the rodends swivel on the links or are they welded on. The rodends must be able to move or it will bind up in articulation. Lookin good keep it up. | |

| i have not done a whole lot on the suspension this week i ran out of welding gas but i figured out exactly how i am going to make the shock mounts. About the links yes they do pivot i have more flex in it than the shocks will move | |
