3 Link front, leafs in the rear, 2.5" ADS Racing Shocks!
Been plugging along at it most of the morning. Lots of grinding cleaning up everything for welding. Still along way to go but should be mocking up later this evening hopefully!
I bought the truss used and someone cut the bottom to clear a cad on a dodge. My quick solution, since I forgot about it and already had too much welded . Just layed a fat bead on top.

Lowers mocked up. Need more time for the panhard and the upper.
Looking real good dude.
Thanks dude. Hopefully I can knock out the upper link and the panhard this week.
Still undecided if I'm going to run this bent drag link or make it straight.
Nice work.
Noice progress!
You might've already said this, but how long are the bottom links? And where will the axle be at compared to stock location? Looks good btw!
37" long links. Axle 1.5-2" forward of stock.
Subscribed and looking forward to the outcome!
Less axle movement, how far back from the front cab mount are You?
Yesterday was one of those days where I just cleaned and stared at it for awhile. Goin to have to cut the crossmember out and make a higher clearance one. Also going to have to make a panhard bracket as the ruffstuff one will not work. It will only allow 4" of bump before contact. I want to keep this thing relatively low so that's not going to work.
Probably going to put the axle back into stock location because I don't think I can fit the panhard in there without it hitting the pitman arm. Debating it I should switch to a higher clearance arm as well.

Probably don't want to move the steering box forward?
Id rather not at this point. I'm only going to be running 35's so I don't think its needed.
I fixed it for you.
Got a little more done. Should have everything mocked up tomorrow and checking for clearances.
I'm no expert but I think you might want to use a bigger bolt 
Plated... love making brackets in 3min rather than hours.. buy the plasma people!
Ugh no forward progress tonight. Wife and kids were supposed to be gone all weekend. They stayed home so I got trapted with kid duty. Looks like there is hope for next weeekend now though. Will be probably doing tie rods on my dmax though.
