Nice shot!

How much travel are you getting out of the front end, do you know? I'm curious to see how much uptravel and drop out there is. Also, do you know what the compressed and extended eye to eye dimensions are on those shocks you're running up front? Sorry for all the technical questions :D

truck is 9" up travel and 9" of droop..I THINK the compressed length is 18" and 32" extended

Damn Man! You just love to tease us don't you. What you do to the radius arms, Tweak em all to shit? It's time to weld plates on them for reinforcement.

I will let you know, it will possibly be in Jan sometime. Depends on my work schedule.
yeah, probably will just make a new set when I have time.
