thanks bart!
heres my weekend updates:
I got all my brakets & mounts welded up & gusseted everything & braced my crossmember.
I still need to brace up my rear winch mount, I had to cut out all the old bracing.
I got the fuel cell mounted in my truck box. & got it plumbed & wired.
I have a few more things to button up. I plan on bringing it to work with me tomorrow to do some forklift testing.

last night I got most of the project buttoned up! I still have a couple small things to add & adjust. but for the most part its done.
I brought it to work with me this morning so that I could do some testing on the forklift.
heres some forklift test pics.
everything looked really good, except for a couple minor adjustments. no binding
I do think that I will adjust my shock mounts a little to get a little more down travel.

yeah, I got to be honest, I didnt think that I would get any more travel than what I had before. I under estimated the coils & the stability of a link suspension.
Hows yours coming?

Your ride is killer! I can't believe how much travel you were able to squeeze out of your rig. Truly unbelievable.
