Very nice!

One question I have for you. Is there any reason you mounted the single heim for the wishbone vertical instead of horizontal? When doing mine, the chassis guy knew I do my fair share of street driving and mounted it horizontal. The rod end has more strength that way for a side load. IE the ball can't pull out of the end unless the whole end breaks. He Talked to the mfg about the load rating both directions. If memory serves me it was like 3-1 ratio. The front has two so it shares the load the single on is seeing. Just sharing .vbut it really does look great.

Super73, no reason at all. I just saw pictures of it like this and that is how I did it. My rear heim is a 5/8 chromoly joint, I think my tabs will bend before that heim lets loose.
