Is that the full traction long arm suspension? Any clearance issues between the drivers side upper control arm and the driveshaft?

Yep Full Traction, there seems to be plenty of room around it
TnT did mention that they mount the UCA's a little more outboard now then I believe they used to. They also have a new mount instead of the stock style for the uppers, it has a 1/2" sleeve in the middle so I did drill out the Full Traction upper arms to accept a 1/2" bolt. I also had some clearance issues in the back side of those mounts, the Full Traction arms were hitting when the axle was stuffed, so I had to cut off about a 1/4" of the UCA brackets for clearance

Cool, been thinking about switching to the full traction stuff on my rig. I'm running RE drop brackets now and my upper control arm hits the driveshaft when stuffed.
Looks good!

I was very impressed with the Full Traction parts.
Really big beefy adjustable LCA's, huge heims, beefy frame mount, sturdy adjustable UCA's, dropped and cross braced track bar frame mount, 3/4" heim on the track bar end with step down spacers for a 1/2" bolt. And that track bar is shaped for much more clearance around the center section, compared to my RE one that would clear a HP30 fine, but will hit the HP44 without modifications.

Glad to see it working so well, man mine doesn't flex that much, now I'm bummed!
That Full Traction kit is a huge improvement over my 4.5 RE kit :shocked:

Wow, same here.
I only have 30" of travel with my RE short arms and drop brackets. I'm not done "tuning" my bumpstops and control arms, but I only expect to get a few more inches of travel. Hoping to get 35" travel for an RTI score of 1000.
40" of travel is 1159 points on the ramp.
Looks great!

well thanks i have to get new rear shocks and that should help with the back flex because i forgot i moved the shock mounts up and well i popped both shocks now and have very little up travel because of the shocks being to long.
