Well its coming along. I need to do a few things yet. Make a track-bar (anyone know the measurements, or someone that can make one.. i want to make sure the axle is center), hook up steering, brakes, secure the top of the coil.....
Just to make sure did i choose the right hole for the radius arm bracket in the frame.? I think the axle should be slightly more forward.. let me know
And then for the rest of the pics throughout the process..
**note - the pics are of my friends doing the work... i just had a surgery for a hernia so i can't lift anything.
Start of process.. Begining to paint, too...
Moving the axle underneath.. This was fun to watch.. I wish I could of helped.. haha not really
3.5" Coil and 6" shock..
Front of axle.
Sitting on 33's for now....
Let me know any suggestions you guys may have... Thanks for the help throughout this whole process.. It really has not been as difficult as I was making it..

Couple of suggestions
Axle needs to be centered, left to right. too far to the drivers side.
Looks like you have the plastic part missing on the rad arm bushings or the wrong bushings all together for the 79 brackets.
Axle needs to be pushed forward more. Like 4-5" more.
Depending how much lift your running you may want to get some angled shims for your lower coil seats to get rid of the bending you have in the coil now.
So far it's looking good, and I know it's not complete.

i know its not centered left to right... im going to do that once i get the track bar mount made... it does seem to be back further then i want it... but im not sure what will happen to it once i get the rear end lifted up... i put the radius arm brackets in the right hole according to the write-up on the main page.. so im not sure whats going on exactly.. thanks for the input though
