Okay, so today i moved the entire crossmember forward 4 inches to make room for the coilovers. This also allows a better approach angle, unfortuantly it does make me more suceptable to high centering but ill show you whats in store to help slide things along later.. thats why i have got the new mill 
I was able to fab up some .375 lower coilover mounts put two bends in to lower the mount down alittle to make room for the 16" coilovers.. So at 7.5" of lift i have 6" up travel and 10" down travel.. or in otherwords 2/3 comp 1/3 uncomp.. so very happy about that.. I will have to poke some holes through the hood to fit the coilovers and resis.. looks sick tho.. really stoked with how this is coming out.. i also got some used seats that fit me super nice, so i will fit them then when its time ill have them redone... there super faded... also have to decide weather to run the five or four points ... hmm ... maybe tomarrow i will mount the seats and belts... have to get the truck rolling agian so i need to finish up the pass mount and let her sit back down..

sweet dude, looks sick. 16" coilovers.... i assume on all 4 corners eventually? holy flexors batman!
i had those same seats in my mustang, they did fade really quick i noticed. mine were red, turned pink within a year or 2. if you can take the covers off, just throw them in some clothing dye maybe. i do recall trying to take them off and giving up though lol

cool, so basically it's how i used to run mine, which worked fine for the most part. I just eventually turned it into a true 3 link.
