| Ah I see. You should put a trolley jack under one side of your axle and lift it under the flex maxes out. Then measure from the bottom of the tire to the ground. I'd really like to know how much exactly she flexes, haha.

| Nice job man. I'd like to see a picture looking right at the front grille. I think the cutouts for your shock mounts look really cool. | |

| Well had some trouble putting them on . They are a bit longer than my other ones. I might put the old ones back on to save all the modifying I will have to do to make these new ones work, and the others werent too bad just slightly stuffed than I wanted | |

| Could also raise the shock towers a bit. That would allow the new coilovers to fit and bring the front end down a bit so it will sit level when you put better tires on the front  "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Sears LT11 Rat Rod Build *2019 Build-Off Winner!* - Allis B-110 x2, 710 & 716 - Wheel Horse 655, 953 & 500 Special - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic & 1668 - Cub 106 & 124 - Ford 120, LGT 125 & 145 - White 1650 Yard Boss *I have 21 tractors and over 40 chainsaws, I need help* | |

| That would be the second time I have done that tho
It would be the best option in the long run because it's less grinding out of welds | |

| Well the murray got some beef ! Put new link supports in on the axle that are made out of quarter inch angle and added some gussets too. I am sticking with the original coil overs cause now that its all back together it flexes better and i dont really want to move my top mounts again, but i might later if i feel bored with nothing else to do. Got my knock off go pro camera so should be able to get some footage of it running after i get a new mini sd card.And i am building a better front bumper and hopfully putting a rear one on too. On another note i am getting a stick welder and another angle grinder for trading an old k301 engine thats been laying in my shed for a year or so. | |
