may switch up my upper bars and go with a wishbone style instead of triangulated uppers...not sure if I can get them mounted the way I want them and still get enough triangulation.

crappy day today :(....so I cut the tubes down to make the wishbone, and welded it up, welded the tabs to the axle. still have to weld in the front wishbone mount, but I want to wait till I'm done with the lowers first.....so close now :)

I like tha look of a wishbone better than upper links..

Re: My 86 build
 
thanks pops!.......the triangulated bars just weren't going to work out the way I would've like them to...

today I started to raise the fenders in the bed to make some room in the wheelwells, I cant drop it any lower without the tires wanting to hit the fenders, so I thought I'd get this out of the way before I finish the 4-link bars. I only got the drivers side finished today, I hope to do the passengers side this week. forgot to take pics during the cutting and welding, but have some after....
