Absolutely man, that's what we're all here for. I knew just about nothing when I first started this build and have gathered a ton of knowledge from the guys and girls here. It feels good to be able to share what little i know when i can.
After a few test drives I have found another thing to point out with the front wheels, backspacing. The wheels i have are running about 6.25" BS and while they mount up and clear everything while straight, at full left and right steering there is scraping. The bolts on the lower ball joint scrape the inside of the wheel. I think i'll be able to adjust the torsion bars and change the angle just enough to get clearance. Just another thing to think about
