98+ control arm CAD Technical Drawings

Im going into my senior year for Mechanical Engineering. I am looking to lift my truck. I love the dixon lift but im looking to design something myself for a senior project. Plus the schools going to pay for it. So i was wondering if anyone had CAD drawings of the 98+ front suspension. I know i can get field measurements but it would save me some time. I do plan on doing Structural Analysis on everything and promise to share my build with everyone. Thanks for the help.

thanks

stan

No im at Wilkes University its in wilkes barre pa. Watch out for the harrisburg campus and make sure you go for mechanical engineering, and not for mechanical engineering technologies. Same price Different results. If the PSU cult is not your thing hit me up WILKES is a small school which gives you much more time for hands on projects like the mini baja or playin in the machine shop.
