Redid the frame horns again. I needed more room up front for my radiator and condensor so im replacing the intercooler with a water to air unit. I also moved the radiator and condensor in front of the core support and finally put my front end together. I think it came out pretty good.
I still need to add some bracing and finish welding but here's some pics.

I cut off my upper and lower a arm mounts and made new sets. These have more room for adjustment and look a whole lot better.
This is what they looked like before.

Thanks!! Taking the truck over to a friends shop to get the rear suspension done. I was planning on running a 4 link but looks like a ladder bar set up will work best with the way I made my frame. He's also welding my aluminum cold side piping and puting in the sheet metal in the bed. Hope to have it back in a couple of weeks.
