Well i tried a couple different shock positions. Everyone got me a little closer to clearing but still not acceptable to me. I got to the point of just putting the bypass shocks up for sale because i just wasnt gonna make everything clear. One last chance. I decided to add a tube...

Nice May as well make mine 49x67 then. Give me a little wiggle room. Ill take it for sure

I need roughly 48"x66"

Ill be working on it most the day saturday. Possibly friday to But anytime you want to make the trip just let me know

How big can you go?

Another thing to mention... These pics the tire is only lifted to where the shocks were extended fully and no more. Later in the day i rigged up some ratchet straps to keep from stretching out the shocks and lifted the wheels about 6'. The other end wasnt even light yet. Should be a...

Time to play with the forklift At first i thought i was set. Plenty of clearance on the bypass, everything looked good Then it was time to move the forklift to the front tire And then.....having the correct ackerman, and 42+ degrees of steering angle found this I really...

Thanks for the compliments! The wheels are stock axletech MRAP steel wheels. Designed to take bomb hits. 150 lbs each!! I have a plan on getting some aluminum beadlocks for it sooner than later

Ha!! The highest part of the cage measured 86.5" tall. Not to out of hand but big Wheel base is 132

I decided to try the original upper shock mounts in the front. But i didnt want to make fancy mounts for the axle til i knew they would work. So i grabbed some scrap After a little more welding to get everything solid enough to test, and a few other things, it was time to get it outside...

I started messing with rear shock and bypass mounting. If anyone has watched Skipped Links build thread they would know that this can be a challenge with Axletechs. With the sharp steering it makes it interesting Well i set one side up and flexxed the axle. I can move the axle but i...

So with my seagulls tacked up, I was finally able to put the upper links in again I went ahead and pulled the lower link mount off to finish weld it up. Easier off the rig for sure This unfortunately pretty well catches the thread up.

I was planning on reusing the upper links so i didnt buy any material for them. And since they were already made to length, I decided to try the short links lower on the frame rather than buy more tube. Another problem the longer uppers was gonna have was hitting the frame at bump. So...

But before I left for Idaho I tried several different link positions to try to help make the driveline clear. The pinion was not rotating through the stroke so I made some mock up longer uppers and tightened the separation of the links at the back. This helped. Pinion was rotating up at...

So next up was links. I had a pretty good plan on where I wanted everything so no messing around Started with the lowers. This is 2.5"x3/8" tube And of course the large 1.5" shank heims not to horrible of a belly considering Started on the uppers. Im using the same link mounts...

Ive been gettin my butt kicked by this front 4 link for at least a month I decided to try one of these universal link mounts from Chassis Unlimited. They are made for 1.25" heims so I knew I would have to modify it some The width of my EMF large heims is 2.77" So I figured I would just...
