Re: My Build - FINALLY...

Well the work slowed down on this thing but good and just as things pick up and I'm ready to bag it - I get laid off...

I installed 5" springs and no notch a few months ago and it was fine on air shocks but I wanted more. Grabbed 3" notch brackets from Brothers and now in process of welding these in.

We cut frame, removed rivets, notched the drivers side plate to accommodate and weld in panhard frame mount in stock location. Have an adjustable bar.

In middle work of this I grabbed a set of bags, plates and additoinal material to box in a portion of frame. We should be done by weeks end. btw none of the bolt holes on bottom of the Brothers notch lined up. All were off bout 3/4" @ 45 degrees. Is this normal.... no matter cause we clamped these to frame at bottom, then bolted the brackets to frame but had to weld in filler plats on back side of the brackets above notch due to too large of a gap to weld in. Finished fitting, bolting in and welding in both sides today. Tomorrow we start in frame bag and trail arm bag mounts. We should be done by this Friday. Welds are intermittent as you will see in the pic's. We are gonna redo the back and bag the front later this summer. Plan is to swap the rear end (eaton for a 14 bolt) at that time....
