Update:
Well, I've almost got the loose ends tied up and although I haven't wheeled it yet, I am pretty satisfied with it. The ground clearance will become an issue, I'm sure, but I think because my longarms sit so low, it's given me better on-road manners. I have quite a bit less body roll than I used to with the same springs and shocks. I haven't had a bit of death wobble or vibrations and it steers pretty straight. My brakes work great! I didn't swap out any master cylinders or anything (only added an adjustable proportioning valve) and the thing stops at least as good as it did bone stock! I do need to get some mud flaps on there because I got pulled over today and given a warning (not 2 blocks from your house Sean!) Anyway, I'll post another update after a little wheelin'!

How come you have 4 holes in your 1/4" channel, but are only using 3 of them? Is it for adjustability or did you just run out of nuts and bolts?

A rosette weld to the unibody? Or just to hold the 4x3 channel to the c-channel? Also what size tubing did you use for your upper and lower arms? Thanks

That's a rosette weld to the unibody rail. The tubing is 1.5 OD .250 wall DOM for the uppers and 2" OD .250 wall for the lowers.
Thanks,

Sorry to be asking so many questions, but in some of the pics it looks like your shocks are disconnected and are just hanging loose. They dont stay that way right? What are the actually connected to?

Yeah, they were just hanging loose. Here's a picture of the mount before I painted it. It's welded to the upper control arm.

Looked good this weekend Billy. Gotta watch out for those rocklin cops. Some QR mudflaps will fix that up for you.

Yeah, I'm just glad he let me off w/ a warning. It also helped that I had "MAKE MUDFLAPS!" on the TO-DO list in my pocket :cheers:
