it definitely looks better dirty doesn't it? That was only two little puddles worth. The full widths are working great.

You also need to box that upper track bar bracket in!! :shok:

Also, I would remove one of the upper "short" links on your front axle. You'll gain more flex as having both of those uppers binds the suspension.

Other than that, it looks great.

I have been told before to remove one of those top links and it would handle better too. when I get the driveline in and take it wheelin thats probably what I'll do.
