I’ve been wheeling my 40 with 24 inches at the frame with 37’s x15 years. Actually it’s been fine without any issues. Maybe that’s why I find Ryan build attractive. Stand Tall. Lol
 
Are you shooting for 50/50 shock travel?
5 inches of up travel will get you at what height?
 
@GW Nugget not sure yet. I still need to get a roll cage, seats, fuel cell, etc in to see if that squats it down any.
 
Hey Ryan, are you happy with your cross fire table?Which plasma cutter are you using with it?
Thanks

Yes I am extremely happy with my CrossFire Pro. I have a Hypertherm Powermax 30xp. It cuts 3/16" really good and does well with 1/4". I will probably upgrade in the future, but for now it does a really good job.
 
Trying to figure out what year model my front end is. Anyone have an idea from this photo?

Has a weird little cut out for the headlight bucket at about the 5 o’clock position.
 
First round of body panels off to the blasters. Most of the front end pieces

Got Stretch Armstrong moved back to the lift to take off the coil springs so I can flex it out.

What color do you plan on going with 🤷‍♂️
 
Getting ready to add some of the metal framework to the top. Has anyone done this in the past and if so, have you used any additional stuff to bond it to the fiberglass like panel bond? Of course I’m using new rivets.

Got a chance to flex out the suspension. Didn’t turn out good. With the drivers side flexed and about three inches of chrome shaft showing, the tire contacts the coil over body.
