Thanks!

Bad news is i'm moving into a new house and my 41'x24' custom garage isnt built yet. Good news is within a few months i'll have a 41'x24' custom garage. Father is nice enough to let me work in one of his garage bays at his house so who knows how much work i'll be getting done. I'll spend most of the time gathering parts.

Next items to buy
39.5/ 11/17 super swampers $1600 plus shipping
17" dually wheels $560
dually wheels widening service $300
custom weld on brake system for the rear axle $500 +-
custom 4 link components $1,200 +- ?

Then we have a roller!!!!

Hey kyle, i found these at a local tractor supply. They are 4-link bars for bush hogs. They will be more than enuff for my build and they were 28$ a piece. You only need 4 i have a buddy that built a 4 link on his daily driver. Just thought it would help.

Nice Find! only problem I see is that the rod ends arent spherical like a ball joint. Any idea how long they are? Good chance we can use them! Thanks

Everything is 2x4 .120 wall or 2x2 .120 wall.

The front control arms will be 2x4 .25 wall.... crazy strong

What type or grade of steel are you going to be using for the front control arms?

Do I look like someone with a plan? 0_o
