Yes the rear end is a micro stub set-up and i can get up to 36* of travel. And for my coil shocks they are a very dark blue. The tube bender i have doesnt work worth a ****. What kind do you have plumberbill. Would you be interested in building a rear cage for some cash? Also what are you guys running for spacers on your spindles i tried a couple different #'s but my wheels are still not sitting right.. I have 4 or 5 inch longer front trailing arms if that makes a difference. Just to know for after tear down and paint.

Can you get to your cutting brakes without elbowing your passenger? I have mine like that, and I have to be careful not to elbow little man. I am planning on moving them soon.

And my cutting brakes i never even thought of that but the still at a point where i can easily move them. thanks for that input. Any please if anyone else see anything like this let me know this is my first build and i dont really like to do stuff twice.

Your doing a great job on it I think. Sit in your seat and see what position your arm is in when you try to use the cutting brakes and where you can move it so that you aren't in the passengers way or vice versa when driving. You should be proud of the work you have done its very good.

Mine started out as a $1200 rolling frame and a 1600. 6 years later and over $12000 its still needs work on it to redo, add or improve something on it. Still worth every dime to me and the boy.

I dont even wanna think about my total on this project. I could have built a small fighter jet for cheaper.

Hey Nick, I am looking for a 1.5" die that works with my jd2 hydraulic tubing bender. Maybe we can work something out.
