Not yet, have to finish paying for them Dec 2nd.

Larry and Zak are awesome to deal with. They allowed me the time (weeks and weeks) to get the measurements right.

I agonized over the measuring , built jigs, built supports for a 9" housing, had a friend come over and double check all my measurements.

Going with titanium centers and brushed barrels.

I got the housing setting on some square tubing that is tacked to the frame rails and on top of actual spring perches. I got it as low/high as I think it will be for bottoming out.

I then was able to get it all squared up and centered so I mad some templates out f cardboard, then hardboard. I need to get these dialed in and have four of them plasma cut.

more fiddling ahead

The trailing arm plates are now cut and ready to weld on the passenger side. Looking forward to getting it on the ground. #speedtechperformane torque arm.
