Ok, more chassis pics. Yes, all heim ends are new and it has Cage long arms. They got new bushings which was a real pain. 2 of the 4 bolts had to be cut off. These arms use bushings between the 'arm' and the cast 'C' part of the radius arm. The radius arms aren't one piece. I don't know why they did it like that, but over time, the round poly bushings wear out, just like a track bar bushing wears. The bushings look identical to a track bar bushing, actually.
With all that done, I stripped the coating off the arms and painted them a gunmetal metallic color and clear coated them. A lot of work, but they look good. Never did take a pic of them after that, but here it all is complete.
The steering setup is a new Duff's extreme duty PS unit, the t-case has the terra-low gears, AA rear output shaft, new bearings, and the WH aluminum inspection cover.
