Front ends looking good. Could you shoot a picture of how you have your steering ram setup? I have the same ram and just getting started on mounting it. What brand rack it that? I see you have the sweet servo mounted directly to it, I have a saco rack and it has a male spline and so does the sweet servo. |

Looks good. You will be much happyer with the coil overs versus the torsions. Don't forget to leave 30% of droop! |
