Great looking project! How tall a rear tire are you running on this?

Have any shots from the back and underneath the frame. Curious as to how low the Funkhouser brackets hang as I like the look of them. I need to purchase a lower mount for my Caltracs/14 Bolt setup and also need to pick up an anti-roll bar.

No real progress. Bunch of stuff back from powder coat. Dug into the drivers side front for wicked fab front end.

You doing his long travel setup or just control arms?

A little feedback on one item that comes with his kit, the TRW lower ball joint boots are just, junk. First one I ripped all I did was move the stud in the ball joint to position it to install and it tore. Ordered another and actually installed that one however when I went to position the stud again to attach the spindle, tore open another. Ordered Mevotech TXK6539, MUCH better.

Bought his long travel kit back in November of 22 with spindle kit. Everything minus brakes. My stuff did not come with lower ball joints. Looks like he has an updated upper mount now as well but I’m good with working with what I have. Thank you for the info on the TRW stuff, I’ll steer clear. I’m assuming you have his long travel setup?

Have the arms and spindle kit as well as Atomic’s standard coilover setup. We’ll see how it goes, if I feel like the long travel is needed I’ll revisit. By then the freshly PC’d frame will be scratched up and I’ll care a little bit less on grinding off the fresh coat to weld the brackets on.

I lied. Wanted the updated upper bracket so I reached out and grabbed a set. Little bit of slacking. Little bit of working on other stuff. Nothing you guys haven’t seen before. Hoping to have the upper coil over mounts in this weekend.
