March 8, 201016 yr Author Looks like they worked out ok. Did they give you any troubles putting them in? Looks pretty level. I had the 27's on the front there so its sitting a little raked, I just put the 30's on and its a little off but thats ok, I had to grind off a little on that strut right on the bottom side, it was rubbing on the CV Axle pretty good. Jeff
March 8, 201016 yr ^ Where the trussing wrapped around the bottom of the eye? I just noticed it in the picture. That was the weakest point I was worried about. :-\ Should still be fine.

Here is Butters.............................. I have to first off thank Woody for all of his help with the welding, Will for the struts in the rear, Rick, Yohn, Dan, Richard, and Bill the Beast for the front struts, Just had to give credit to everyone that put a hand in helping make it happen!!! It still needs a skid plate, bumper, Sliders on the rear front blocks, and some misc. things but over all its mobile............:banana::grin::banana::banana: Jeff
March 15, 201016 yr That hood scoop looks great, and should at least help with cooling. I likes the rear diff hanger too...looks beef. How is the front of it supported, if at all? I can't even tell for sure if you've trimmed the fenders yet, but if not, it doesn't look like it needs much! ~E
