That looks awesome, I like those shock towers too! I would love to have a link suspension my next go around, maybe someday.
Would you be interested in selling your old front leaf springs & shackles?

 

Good updates!

Worried about that front driveshaft angle at full droop at all?

 

thanks Ed. one of my local buddies called dibs on the springs but if he doesn't take them i'll let you know

that pic has the axle sitting on the ground, i just did that for dramatic effect, it won't have that much droop. i'm running 14" coils with 5" of uptravel, so 9" of droop.
To your point though, DS angle is partly why I'm not a fan of how long the lower links are with the TG kit.

 

Oh that's cool, no worries, it might be more work than its worth for you to try to ship them lol!

 

little more progress last night, angled the tower a little more toward the back and lowered it a bit to prevent contact with the brake master. its all burned in, time to move to the other side

 

everything's burned in and painted. had to notch the frame for the drag link, next up is some fender trimming.

 

i leave for moab in a week so its getting down to the wire.

 

I don't know a whole lot about linked suspensions, but it looks like you made some good progress...hope you make your deadline!

 

thanks ed. progress has been slow but i'm almost there. FYI a 3 link is a lot of work haha
hoping to get it on the ground tomorrow

 

It's about an inch and a half higher than intended but it'll settle a bit.

 

Nice work, looks awesome! When is the shake down run?

 

Moab went well for the most part. the shocks are not tuned quite right, so i'll be pulling them apart to add shims with help from some of my local friends. i'm also going to be swapping the primary coils for lighter ones to get the ride height down a little, but overall i'm happy with the setup. the nice thing about coils is everything is adjustable!

 

Great pictures, Moab is on my bucket list.
