Here are some axle pics, some pics of the clearance I put in the radiator support for the PS box and the ram lines coming off of it, the radiator (after I cut the nounting hole off, the new steering shaft...oh yeah, and Merle, my shop squirrel.

There are two pics of how the panhard frame bracket tuck in between the axle and tie rod under full stuff.

So here it is!!! I gotta say, I was in shock with the final result. I was speechless!!! Matt did a fantastic job with my truck.... His fab skills are hands down BAD ASS!!! This thing tracks straight, no bump steer anymore, no drifting, no play in the wheel, no dive when breaking, no airplane takeoff when accelerating. Before, my truck was sky high and drove like $hit. When going around turns, this think felt like it was gonna roll.... now I can actually swerve if theres a hazard, before, I might have rolled. This thing handles like it did when it was IFS. It drives fantastic! I feel completley safe with my wife driving in it with our child. Overall.... very happy!!

Final numbers

Frame height----23"
Gap between tire and fender in both front and rear is 12"... Keep in mind, I have fiberglass fenders in the front so the gap is the same but there is a nice 3.5" difference between the front and rear giving me the nice rake I was looking for. I can still go down another inch but Im gonna drive it for a while. I like how it sits now so I doubt Ill be changing it.
