Project "Big Country" - Front Bumper Fab
Keith and I spent the better part of the day working on the rear four link changes. The coilovers are out and for sale now. I now have some duff coil springs in the rear. Everything is tacked up and needs to be final welded, but it sits level (with the new 3.5" front coils instead of the old 5.5"). The old 5.5" coils are now for sale too.

Here are some pics of how we modified a set of stock coil towers to work on the rear. We welded a piece on the bottom to take most of the vertical force, and then some angle on each side to help with the horizontal force. I used some duff lower retainers on the bottom, but the pads welded to the axle tube are warped from the heat during welding so I need to do some grinding/straightening there.
