God Damn dude, that is amazing.

[OWEN]

Finally got my stuff from Ballistic Fab...the tube adapters for the uppers were too big so I am having my friend turn them down for my on his lathe. Everything else looks good. I formatted my laptop and have it setup with Microsoft Office 07 and the 4 link calculator. I had a good design before it crashed so I'll have to do it again, I have a rough copy on paper. I have my hands full with the truck right now, but hopefully it will be back together by next weekend, and I can finish my jeep while the truck is getting painted

I decided it was time to get some shit done, while waiting for paint to dry on my other project... so here we go

Start
I bought a new computer to run the 4 link analizer plus I needed one anyway and I don't think my girlfriend would let me bring hers to my shop.


I painted frame white so I can write with a Sharpie.
I used a plumbob to mark the old axle location relative to the frame and measured to a few refereneces as well


Next remove all of the old leaf spring shiz
