Wow, really like that rear bumper! Also like the sliders/steps with the treads, smart idea to save your shins!
Nice work so far...few questions for yah.
1) What are the size of the tabs for the lower links in the pic, they
look small but it may be the pic?
2) Do you plan on strengthening up the upper link truss?
3) Did you drill the holes in the link mounts and buckets just for looks
or?
I dig it...nice to see people working on making sick 60 series rigs.

Certainly cool. I'm interested to hear the answers to Lar's questions. Also, what your ground to skid measurement is?

Yeah I even swapped to 4" and will probably go to their stock size springs now only due to where I put the buckets under the frame.

all the tabs and brackets to the axles were for mok-up purposes only! I just want to keep going on the project at the time until the 80 axles arrived.I had the width measurements for the springs and to caculate where the links would end up.
The upper link truss is gusseted up inside the frame ,but is also tied into a removable transfer case crossmember.
Yes I wanted to give the buckets some kind of design.

clearance on the skids is 33" - I trimmed the rockers to just below the doors- about 3.5" to 4"

fj80 axles on 40's
Check out Action Jackson's site he had a pretty nice 80 on 40's with no problems, of course after the lonfield upgrade, and the three link front install.
