My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Admin, is this build thread in the correct spot?

Realized I haven’t updated this thread in a long time and a whole bunch have changed in the last year.
Good catch. I moved it. It wasn't totally wrong since suspension and frame work is extremely important to your build. But that other forum is intended more for help questions pertaining to suspension and frames. Thank you.

That thing is fantastic, I hope my Explorer build is capable of a fraction of that... not quite as go fast as yours but similar spirit with WAY less airtime :)

Some specs on the new front end. It’s the Mitchmade inc. beam kit with center mount radius arms using his billet steel knuckles and billet aluminum 2.5” hubs. All new swingers utilizing threaded straight tie rods. Brakes are 14” Coleman rotors with 6 piston Wilwood calipers. Suspension pushed forward a couple inches and now has a 86” front track width. New shocks are 3.5” x 16” King 5 tube bypasses. Pulls about 20” of front travel bumped and trapped. Drives as good as it looks, don’t have to slow down for much.
