got rear shock in .run out of weld on tabs for gas tank mount. and a little more time and will have my oem inner fender welded to the metal tech then to the other side

Good to see this rolling, cool build!

Couple of questions for ya.
Did you ever change the rear pinion angle?
Brace your lower link, frame side mounts?

The lower rear shock mounts look like they are gonna bind-up when you flex this thing.
I realize this photo and post are over a year old, so maybe things have changed...

 

[got rocks]

yes i got my pinion fixed. and i did brace the lower links. did not move the shock they are working good thanks for looking
