Sorry to all the bolt on guys. I got frustrated and decided to weld. Learning a lot from this project. I'm ready to start over....not! The driver's side is almost complete. As much as I tried, both sides won't quite be symmetrical, thanks to a header tube. Bahhhhhhh.

It's probably just the pics - but is there enough room for a coil near the top of the shock where the tubes come together with the cro0ss member? Looks kinda tight.

Yeah. It's just the pics. There's a good 7 inches at the tightest spot. Would be nice to have a spring though. Haha!

Did Steve not give you the ones I gave him? No clue what rate they were but I'm pretty sure I gave them to him with the shocks. They would've been helpful for the size figuring at least...

You're making good progress, Brian!

Haha! Yeah, I've been eyeing those. It would be the perfect set up.

Just saw them on RDC today.

That would go perfectly with your build.

Those aren't going to fit under the floor. If you're going through the floor with a shock it better be for a much longer shock so you can make the angles right. Tuning those would be interesting considering the angles in the rear.

Still, they are pretty cool.

Wouldn't the collapse of the 4.0 be the same length as Brians 3.0 triples he's currently running? Or are talking about the tight clearance of the 4.0 and the bypass tubes?

edit: Just noticed the length of the top end caps. So Steve...

I know you have been working on it... tease us a little B!

I'm sooooo jealous of your Bronco!!

What have I done?!?!?! Ways to go, but the pieces are coming together.

This is just mocked up. Nothing is assembled yet....so many parts! Right spring rate or not, I'm coating those bad boys before they get close to the Bronco.

Just for perspective, this is a Pro Comp 4" TTB coil next to the BB.

Looking gnarly B!

Is she gonna be ready for next weekend? When are you heading down?

MUUUUCH better than what was on them when he got them! Now I see how the welding pic Steve posted earlier fits in
