Looks great. What fuel cell are you running to feed that beast of a motor?
 
A few updates. Currently building my mitchmade parts for the front suspension and my buddy came over to help me prep the frame for it all. Have to clean up the welds and add the finally 3/16 overlay plate on the frame.

Solid choice on going to beams. Best and easiest upgrade for these trucks. Why not working on it in the deep/tall RV part of your garage? I'm guessing too much stuff or too far from the power for welder.

Thank you. The boat, rzr and trophy kart are in the big garage
 
A few updates today. Thanks to my buddy for coming over and helping keep me motivated. Always nice to have a competent fab guy work along side and we can work on separate tasks. Also today was day 4 of learning to tig. Why not learn on this truck.

Mitch’s kit is awesome for the front end and his customer service it top notch! Beams are foreign to me so it has been nice to rely on Mitch.

Been working on dialing in the tig. It’s addicting but also extremely time consuming 🤣 my mitchmade spindles are done. Can’t thank mitch enough for his guidance on building his kit.

misalignment spacers are the best to use for when you're mocking something up and have waaaaaaaaaaaay too long of bolts. hahahah
 
gonna be able to keep rear window as in and still sneak in upper shock mount structure? looks tight!

Looks like you could get away with shorter rod ends on shocks if necessary too...

Yea there is plenty of room to make the shock mount and leave the window. If it presents a problem I will get shorts rod ends but it has more room than the picture shows.
