Looking good Grason. What's the plan? Airshock/tube conversion in the rear, does that give you more uptravel in the rear?
Are you planning any sort of bumpstops? There is going to be an ass load of leverage on those upper shock mounts.

Its not done yet, there are going to be more tubes added so i dont bend the shock hoops and the top of the shock tabs are going to be braced to the c-pillars. and im running 14" air shocks.

How much higher is ride height? Full bump is crazy low.

Looks good, you've done a lot of work on it.
Is it going to be comp legal with the frame rails cut? Or is that just a W.E.Rock thing? I obviously don't know all the rules, just remember something about the frame rails being cut when bborder was gonna run his in W.E.Rock.

now you need to re-redo your front frame to bring it even lower at full bump so it sits level. Looks real good, makes me want to do my rear frame again.

the only reason it sits higher in the front is because i have jr's 16" air shocks vs. my 14" coilovers. with the 14s it should sit alot closer to level.

are you gonna have your coilovers all ready by next week or run air shocks til you have a chance to tune the coilovers?

If the lesson includes how to grow a money tree then I am game. Otherwise I am good.
How much do you think you saved by cutting off the rear frame and adding back all that tube? I need a better pic but do you think its going to hold up? Its different.

i have to get my brothers camera since i broke mine. it sits a little bit lower at ride height and full bump is definetly low. it should hold up well, its all tied together pretty well.
