Sas build

Been awhile since I posted on here. My build is near done. I did the brakes which leaked at fitting for extended hoses but got that fixed. Started her up and put her in drive to pull forward a foot or so. Would go forward then back just to see brakes held. They did but I would hear a clunk under her when going into drive or reverse. I had an idea what it was. My radios arm brackets are for older ranger and not designed for my frame. Also the radius arms are not right under frame rails since axle is dana 30 they are about an inch and a half inside rails. So I modified brackets to reach arms. Then I adjusted the coil towers, they are the adjustable ones, I went down 2 holes to get more height. Unfortunetly in doing this I lost castor. So I again made a change on brackets to lower arms which worked but the bushings do not hit brackets square. They are also a bit tight and sharp and chewed bushings up. I decided to go another route and got early bronco brackets and different bushing kit. Cant do anything til parts arrive but I need to make area flat and box it in like it's a frame rail next to rail and lower.
