Re: My 47/51/53 build
Thanks, Paul Horton has a great kit for these trucks but I actually got this one on Ebay from a company called Rod Parts Dealer....the quality of the kit is great but it did take awhile to get in once I ordered it, 4+ weeks. They didnt have the best customer service and support either but I saved a couple hundred bucks....not sure if it was worth it in the end.

Re: My 47/51/53 build
Cool build! It looks like you have the T-bolts installed upside down in the upper a-arms.

Re: My 47/51/53 build
Yes, they are in upside down...the nut goes on top. When i was putting them on for mock up i just dropped them in from the top so gravity would hold them in place while i held the control arm with one hand and put the nut on with the other. I will put them in the other way when i do the final assy. Good observation!

Re: My 47/51/53 build
I'm exhausted just going through your build!. You are killing it dude. Very nice suspension all around and what a lot of work for just a few months. I'm subscribed.
