It seems like forever but after a thousand measurements and angle checking. I have finally tacked up my fake links. Tomorrow I will cycle them and make sure the are kosher then on to taking up coil over mounts and engine cage

Got the real links cut and tacked in. Cycled everything and it works flawlessly. The only thing I wish I had was more up travel. At full stuff (before my oil pan becomes victim to the track bar) I have 4 3/4 inches of wheel well between tire. So it looks like it will be almost all droop. Any ideas on how to fully clapse my shock? Do I need to let all the nitrogen out or is that a big no no?

without any coils on it, it should collapse easily.

Slowly, but easily.
 
Got my driver side air bumps and coilovers mounted up

Passenger side shock mounts all in. Engine cage all built and welded up. Axle out with a good chunk of welding done on it. Progress is fantastic!

Nice work man!!! Love how it hugs the valve covers.

Why did you chose to have bars go up to the core support?

Thank you! And this is the reason for the core support bars, luckily I got it all installed today with pics for good example ;)

Rig is almost all buttoned up! Unfortunately we guessed high on the spring rate so needless to say I will be swapping those put tomorrow

Got the right spring rates in and sitting on its own weight! Limit straps are on. New tie rod on and hydro ram mounts tacked on. Unfortunately I was running a 6 inch stroke ram before and with the steering back on stock holes it throws a true 8 inches now. So psc just shipped my new one today. Got some wiring re worked. Still have a few loose ends to tie up and run my exhaust and it's time for a test run! Fyi the front springs will settle and inch from what the pics show
