Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

More progress but I swear 3 steps forward, 2 back! My brother started installing the DIY4X shackle flip, not a bolt on unit. Here it is with no lift blocks, just the shackle flip kit.





I ended up removing 2 1/4" from the shackle bars and got it to this.




It still sits higher in the rear than I want, I might have to bring the front up so it doesn't look like a drag car. I got my spring perches installed and installed some U-bolt retaining plates off of a freightliner truck since I didn't have any for this thing.



Here is the hydra boost mount finished, and the clutch hydros mounted.



I also got my drive shaft back and will check to see how it fits in the morning.
