I have the rear links in now.

hey are you gonna put bends in those bottom links to clear ledges?

Mike, are you using something like this to bend your tubing? If so, how do you like it?

The one you posted doesnt work very well unless the tubing is very thick. Im actually using Stans bender for most of it. It looks like this one.

At the frame the links are 24 inches off the ground and 20 inches at the tire. Im hoping that will be high enough. Thats within 2 inches of my old links. If not I will have to put bigger tires on it I guess. The links were made by my freind who is a machinist and assures me that the material is unbendable in a rig of my weight. He runs the same links in his wig that weighs at least 2,000 lbs more.

I have no Idea. I want to get it togather for our winter run on feb 9-10th... I was hoping to get a test run in and then tear down for paint before moab.

UPDATE

Runnin way behind schedule. Ive been really really sick for the last 2 weeks. I havent done anything to my rig at all. Feelin a little better now. Tommorow Im going to start pulling some doubletime and try to make some real headway so I can make Moab.

If you had that same crazy viral shit I had last weekend.....I feel for ya. It kicked my butt for 5 days, even after a trip to the ER for some shots and good medecine
