Thanks for all of the comments and encouragement! I will definitely keep this thread alive as the build goes on. I should get it tacked up this weekend - don't want to make it permanent until I get more weight on the frame. I'm using straps now to hold it in place - crossed straps for a temp. trac bar!
I've got to figure out how to set my pinion angle - can the HP face forward some? That would make the king pins also angled, maybe 11:00 or so rather than 12:00. There's just not much room for the driveshaft to make up the difference.
I can't say much for the CAGE arms since I've only got them installed so far, but they are definitely STOUT!! The heims on them are massive. They are really heavy. After the tires, H1 wheels, 60's and other weight I'll be adding I'm going to have to find some extra HORSEPOWER in the 5.0 to push all this weight.
