Re: Greg's 50 Build

Success. Well for the front. The TCI Rear leaf kit is for 3 inch axle tubes and my 8.8 has 3.25 inch tubes so I ordered U-bolts. I was pretty stoked to get the front end all bolted on. Fatman makes a good kit but the instructions kinda suck. The instructions are great for welding in the cross member and the upper hats but when it came to bolting on all the goodies we were pretty much on our own.

So tell me what you guys think. I left the shocks out since there is no weight and its all coming apart to have the frame blasted. I sure hope the front end settles, I know it will but it just feels high and the lower A-arms are no where near level to the ground. its sitting on 215-70-15 in the front.
