Well haven't updated due to me forgetting the camera, but I've been working on mainly figuring out my front suspension I wanted to make it perfect at ride height, and finally after moving everything upwards, motor 1.5" up i got my arms at 2* LCA and the uppers at 6* this is set at 5.5" ride height. Tire will sit right at the lip of the front tires.

So with that figured out, I started the front crossmember
crazy cuts to make it fit
