I did have some minor clearance issues with it there which i didn't think about when doing it. However it wasn't anything a little quick grinding didn't easily take care of. Also grinded the two lifts metal lips off of the inside pad set but I don't think it would have been needed had the tabs not moved on me err had I lined them up better after I cut them off and welded the others on.
I plan on replacing the knuckle at this point now but this should be fine for a few rides till I buy the 6 shooters.

Went down to the LSLC Round Up at Katemcy Rocks or K2 and had a blast. I busted a main leaf on the left front but the military wrap kept it together to some bailing wire and a little time and I was out wheeling again. 
buddy of mine busted a tie rod in half but I welded it back together for him and it was fine the rest of the weekend aven dragging some more. and he also flopped his rig.
Me goofin around
Buddy (Jake40) trying the climb
Buddy (Jake40) on same climb then flop.

good stuff!
Here are all of the pictures from this years Round Up that I ended up with as well as a couple of videos too. LSLC Round Up 2011 at Katemcy Rocks K2 pictures by LOW-LIFE - Photobucket
Also last weekend some friends in some built jeeps and I went for a wheeling session here local to us. It was a good time with some big rucks but about an hour or so later I noticed my clutch didnt disengage when I pushed the clutch when bound up. So I shut it off go to double low so I have more control since the clutch was acting up and drive it out. magically the clutch works again but I decide to check anyhow. I crawl under the truck and find a big crack from top to bottom on the passenger side of the bellhousing... Fxxx!!!!! Well that ended my night but thought I would bring an update. I was able to make it back to my trailer on my own tho and get it out but still sucks, now I gotta drop a heavy ass SM420 and my dual cases.
things that I ned to get done before next wheeling season. Not really in any particular order.
Chevy corp. 14 bolt rear end including disk brakes, gears and paint coupled with some ruff stuff armor.
63" chevy 3/4 T rear leaf springs *EDIT* maybe something different with shackle hanger for a longer shackle to gain droop, or a 4 link *END EDIT*
Rear 60 springs up front
Stretch front wheelbase as far forward as my frame will allow
shackle reversal (this and last 2 go hand in hand)
Replace bell housing wih spare in shed
move front lights to a safer location out of the way of the tires (after wheel base stretch) and trees / rocks (all the time)
get some 6 shooter knuckles and do the 4 runner brake upgrade up front
rebuild SM420
fix transfer case leaks
Mount one of my 3 york compressors for on board air
few odds and ends such as some wiring and other crap.
Wheel the living s*** out of it and see what breaks and needs to be upgraded to stay reliable.

Dammit... I was afraid of that...
I was gonna do some measuring but hadn't gotten around to it yet. I really want some more droop out back too. I guess I could re do the rear shackle hanger and run some longer shackles that I already have layin around for the time being.
I have been eyeballing the 4 link kit from ruff stuff 4 Link Kit with 1.25" Heims, Framed Rigs [FRKIT1] - $765.00 I go back like once a week and look at it. LOL. I dont have the money for it right now but I may have to just hold off and do it....
Those 1.25" heims should hold whatever I can throw at them, and coming from Dan if they are similar to any of his other products they will be awesome.
most all of it actually.
front and rear axles, rear has stock axles even, the transfer case is a 3 speed case, stock high mileage 2F on propane ect.
only thing drivetrain wise is the transmission, I will call the toybox a toyota part since it can be made for multiple applications all of which using a yota T case.

Weather looked good at Roundup.
Jambo is always crappy weather haha
Man I was playing your video, and then I played the one of the 40, near jumped out of my chair.
Does that thing have a V8?
Nice list of mods you got planned for her.

it was BEAUTIFUL at the round up this year.
As for the 40 it just has a stock 2F in it. The video of my truck was taken from a fairly long distance and the video I took of the 40 I was within talking distance. Probably why it is so much louder. And his truck is louder exhaust wise too.
Oh okay makes sense.
Must be a flowmaster or a generic glasspack on there

If you look when he stalls it out there is some black smoke that comes from the driver side right in front of the rear spring hanger. that is where the exhaust exits. it goes from a header to a cutout right there then to a muffler. the cut out is stuck 3/4 the way open. Its not that loud in person but the truggy is very quiet and the distance again. I shot the video of his truck from <10 feet or so, the video of the me was shot from probably over 50 feet.
They were standing around and I got bored and it was by chance one of em saw me and started recording.

The chevy 57" springs are more flexible than the stockers and are shorter than the 63's which would be good for your shortened frame.

yea... my rear shackle is pretty much right at the frame already...
I'm jealous, that thing looks bad as hell!!! Love the paint color too. She's even prettier with all those scars...ha!
More like stretch marks from when she was fatter. LMAO!
