Quick update. After cycling the rear suspension with the narrowed rear frame, I had to narrow it another 2" per side. I updated my earlier post.
The shocks would either hit the tire or the frame. I couldn't clear both. Now I can, so I should be good to proceed.
I also got some DOM tubing for my shock hoops. 1 3/4" is a bit bigger than the typical 1.5" but it's the only die I have for my bender.
It's been a while since I've bent tube so this first one is definitely too long. Once I get it cut to fit the other side should have less wasted material.
I still have fish plates and crossmembers to make, plus the extended bed mounts.
