Thanks For Checking out my build so far
 
Looks good, what's the P/N of that K&N you're running? Notice a big difference with the Chevy pump?
 
good stuff man:thumbup:... u weld everything up yourself?

im curious about your rear shock locations... with your set up, axle end's mounted parallel with the axle & body end is (stock) perpendicular, then combo'd with the upper relocation, looks like the angles are really opposing... this improve flex/ride??
 
Nice, surprised i didnt see anything in here about that blown aussie

he must have changed the axle side mounts too. I dont see the ones pictured allowing the shock to be leaned over like that.

It gave me the up travel that I lost when moving the lower shock mounts up but I will go through the floor eventually but I need the storage space now.
 
I like your rear shock crossmember. Very simple but looks good.
 
Nice dude! Your gonna love that 44. Ive only had mine on the street so far (rocktoberfest is coming up :) ) And i love the stopping power with the bigger brakes, as well as the locking hubs.

If you need any advice or anything like that with the 44, just shoot me a PM and ill be glad to let you know what you need to know.
 
looks like im going ballistic fab for the coil buckets,lower link and shock mount combo and there link tower for the passenger upper link still looking at the heims vs. jonny joints vs. ballistic joints

Ruffstuff heims and dont look back!
