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




Made sure the tierods would be clear, at full turn they hit so I will make a small round notch

Tac'd



At final position




Centered the rack up, took some measurements


Check out those arm angles, perfect!

and some more pictures...
Check out this, the body bout doesn't have much room to weld to so I could do a plate angle up on one side and the other going down, but I hate that look


so why not make it look factory

all done.... :crazy:

Cut some steel




Welded up and smoothed out, the 2" hole will be drilled later




Did the other side also, these where the hardest body mounts, so I wanted to get these out of the way
