Got my lower links figured out i think. I only have to move them in about an inch.

Idk why i didnt realize that right away. I think i was just being a pat (winey bitch) and got frustrated.

so stuff happened today.

Uca at ride hight

full bump/full droop.

still alot of room between the starter and the UCA at full bump/droop

then FML it fell off the jackstands.

have one LCA cut. everything looks pretty good so far. I should end up with 4" of up travel and enough droop lose a coil. I have to measure my shocks and maybe get limit straps.

:roflmao:

Been there, done that. I think I dropped my 60 of the stands like 3 times, dropped it off the workbench once too when I first got it and was stripping it.

Get limit straps, trust me get them!!! That, or trash shocks :doh:

 

[chedisme]

They're spacing them out.

I have mine spaced out 1" I think.

yea Im crying right now.

pat would be soooo proud!

 

[chedisme]

I found it. I must have put it down on the silver muffler on my snow blower and put the snow blower back under the deck. I was just about to give up and buy a new one.

 

[chedisme]

so more stuff.

moved my track bar mount so It will give me moar hydro room

was here

now here

I cycled everything and it all works well. I had to move the UCA tower about an inch.5 more towards the diff cause it was limiting up travel by hitting the frame rail.

Im going to have to build a new drive shaft because all the ones I have are ~4" too short. Im going to canibalize the blown up tom woods shaft I have and put the dual cardion thingy on it since the slip yoke is alot beefier then the others.

the axle is all finish welded

every thing got 3-4 passes

I was thinking of leaving this part open to let water and junk out

bad idea? its welded 3-4 passes on the outside and 3 inside.

 

[ROBZ95Xj]

weld it, also that back plate slould of been touching the tube and welded to the tube, alot of force on the one mount with a heavy 60

the back plate is keyd so thats where ruff stuff wants it.

yea I think im going to close it up.

 

[RCman]

I'd weld a gusset on the side as well.
If you are worried about water, just leave 1/2" of that area unwelded, or drill a small hole.

that was my new plan.

 

[chedisme]

got my X-member 99.999999% done.

did 6 passes where I could and 3 everywhere else on my LCA mounts. then ramped and boxed them in. I think they came out pretty good.

burned in the UCA

I just have to close up the sides of the tube and its done.

 

[foxwar71]

6 PASSES!!!



because somehow one wasnt enough for Stefan. and you wonder why your welder wants to commit suicide.
