Re: New photos and sometimes old photos......
Now you see what it is..............Darr does some real nice work..........Most of the time your shock mount will be toward the bottom of the axle but I did not want to remove the body to change the upper mounts so just a little bit of machining........Well not just a little but some............
The inside of the third member looks great so a new gasket and some RTV will be done.....Gona be driving it soon..........

TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN, YET THE YOUNGEST YOU'LL EVER BE, SO ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS

Necessity is the mother of all inventions. Forgot who said it, but he was spot on. Give him credit when/where due.

Hey Mike, Looks like maybe you will have some bad tire wear!
I am running 4 shocks @ 175# each. For what it's worth.
