Those are all the pics i have for now. The truck is currently is 3 hours from here at a buddies garage so i wont be able to take any more pics of the links.
The rear have a full bed cage simular to this truck but i will have fender skins on it.
As it sits right now i have a "bent" track bar. The axle tube is tapped and the bolt threaded through a double shear mount welded on the tube and into the tube... if that makes any sense.
My old track bar mount was ontop of the axle truss right above the upper link mount. You can sort of see it in this pic to the right of the pass side spring. This is a great way to do it if you can get everything to clear. I couldnt...
I can get more pics of the new mount but not until next weekend.
ps.... anyone know how i can get this thread moved over to the "build up" forum?
