Looks fine. Be easier if you perhaps started a build thread and then asked all your SAS questions in the one thread...you'd get a lot more responses that way.

mikelusk1 · 08-05-2009, 08:22 PM

well this is a very slow project cause im slowly saving up so i dont want to start a build thread and keep everyone waiting. when im done i figured i would just post all the pictures of my build just to show people.
i still need to finish my sas (3" tg)
buy and install my rear lift. (4" tg)
get one more set of 5.29s
get the dual transfer case adapter.
build both drivelines.
get rock sliders.
and invest in some longfields.

That angle looks perfect to me.

How do you get phone pics to post so big? Did you resize? I thought that enlarged pics look terrible. Mine do anyway.

mikelusk1 · 08-06-2009, 10:27 PM

No i just upladed them straight off my phone. i have a blackberry and its set for high res pics. i was surprised how big they came out too.

Do you have a pic of where you welded your front spring hanger? Also, how much settling happened before you took those pics of the shackles?

mikelusk1 · 09-22-2009, 08:05 PM

its flush with the front of the crossmember. and my springs havent really settled much yet.

toyospearo · 09-22-2009, 08:13 PM

I would hit that front hanger with a few more welds like a 4" weld every 5" across.
That straight on photo with the one weld in the middle looks like it isn't penetrating the the steel enough. I would turn up your welder to 4 with a line speed of 35. If it were me. I'm just sayin. Running over your front end would suck.

**waskillywabbit** · 09-22-2009, 08:14 PM

You are planning on welding the front hanger more than that I hope?

mikelusk1 · 09-23-2009, 10:20 AM

yeah itll be welded more than that. my friend i work with is going to weld it. he welded for caterpiller for 10 years so i know his welds are good and strong.

RU55ELL · 09-28-2009, 10:55 AM

Thanks for the pic. I ended up having to push mine back to flush with the crossmember too.
