And lots more sex in that picture than before 
No Deuling fab shock mount. I made those.
Getting stuff measured out for shock mounting.
Few more pics from cycling.
This thing is just all sorts of nasty.
Your 2x4 jack setup is scaring me

Huge nads or no brain. Haven't figured it out yet.

Why not both?
that droop is insane.
Finally sitting on its own weight. Shocks mounted. Spring rates are off so rear is saggy but finally a roller.
Looks good. But one question, why no bypasses on the front?
Haven't bought them yet. Bought a set of 6 shocks used. 4 coil overs and 2 bypasses. Omce truck is going ill be saving for front bypasses to ad.
I get it now.
Great progress man! Quick question though - your rear trailing arms have the shock mounting points above the "joint-to-joint" centerline. Did you put a poly bushing at the frame end like I am planning to do on mine? If not, how are you planning on controlling the rotation of the arms? I'm used to seeing trailing arms with the lower bent tube being bent so that the shock mounts can be dropped in below the link centerline - thereby holding the trailing arms vertical. I'm sure you covered it and I just missed it.

Yes im using a poly bushing at the frame pivot to control rotation. Was building arms to make shocks mount below centerline. But build arms with ads shock lengths in mind as thats what i was planning on buying. Since i got used fox shocks had to make up the difference in length in the shock mounting. Which meant raising lower mounts up.
Better pics
