Just curious... Why a plated tower vs. a traditional coil over hoop and tabs...
Don't get me wrong it's "mad bling" in a good way... Just asking as a hoop would be way less work I'd assume.

The hoops are actually harder to fit do to the sheet metal in the inner fender/ engine compartment. All I really had to do was open the factory shock recesses 5". Came out a lot cleaner than I anticipated sheet metal wise . I just hate hacking up the inner fender, etc. I prefer a nice tube hoop appearance wise, though.

I still have to do the panhard and cutoff the old upper link mount from when this axle was in my other truck. Really crap pix for now, til I can move all the jackstands, etc. my axles so far fwd the driveshaft won't even bolt on.
Seems I lost all my knuckle inserts for the homes into the arms too

Yeah, for me a brace would just be in the way. Those are neat though.

Dig the work to that RS shock tower. I hope to not have to do that on one of my projects, planning on using a Saginaw box. if I can't fit the Saginaw due to my big ass diesel I will have to do the same thing. Again, nice work!

The one front lines is male/female. the other is female/female just like the rear but shorter. Are you missing the small hard line piece on the passenger side front?

Sold that stuff with the front axle.
which side goes male to banjo @ the caliper? I'll just order two of those from you and be good. I have a pair of 28" female/ females for frame to axle.
If I read correctly, you're using 4WU's minitruck kit modified to fit your axle? Great work!
That coilover tower is pure sex, love the notching. I think I'm going to copy what @sorensenjg did with hiss 4WU kit and use these towers. Looks like they clear the steering shaft just fine, but do need a slight trim of the inner fender.
