so bitmaps don't work in this forum. the only file i could figure is an illustrator file but i don't have illustrator on this computer so i can't check if the beadlock pic worked, what the easiest way to post a autoCAD file in this forum?

change the eps to a jpg or a pdf... looking good BTW...

I added .bmp to the list if thats what you have try it again...

so i've bought my shocks, the racerunners i was looking at ended up being out of my price range, after hours of hunting over the last couple months, they all just showed up, a pilot guy from MBN sold me a pair of 8.5" travel lightly used FOX 2.0 airs for the front and on ebay lastnight i scored a pair of 12" travel never used FOX 2.0 airs for the rear.

thats right... fox airs on all 4 corners... for just over half the retail... i'm stoked... just have to wait... i hate the waiting for parts game... the list keeps getting longer:

-rack and pinion
-5/8" master cylinder (clutch)
-3/4" master cylinder (brakes)
-older wilwood dynalites (front brakes)
-slave cylinder (clutch)
-shocks

once all this stuff gets here i'm gonna have a lot of work to do, i'm gonna have to take some time off work... lol

The 8.5's are good shocks, I sold them to him

had the day off today, got the front lower a-arms reinforced, he upper shock mounts tacked in and the rack mounted. there was lots of material on the bottom of the rack so i scrapped the adapter plate and drilled new mounting holes. my new 2-axis drill press vise makes things a lot easier to line up. i mocked up the front suspension and made sure there was no binding. at full bump there's 3.5" of ground clearance and at full droop there's a  17.5" of clearance, for a full 14" of travel. just waiting on my rear shocks to show up, then i can call this thing a roller.
