Looking good Rusty. Almost like it belongs there from factory. :D
Keep us posted.

The next on our list was to install the DSE rear suspension. It is a good thing they send a video and Brian bought a portable DVD player. This is what he is starting with.

Awesome.
Good luck guys. Keep us posted.

It has been awhile since Brian started installing the DSE rear suspension.

You have to assemble the upper control arm bracket.

Before Brian started the bottom brackets I sprayed a couple coats of epoxy

The lower bracket is tack welded to the DSE torque box.

That looks like a beefy set up.

Rusty,

Thanks for documenting the DSE installations! Your photos are great.

Looks very nice.

?? How much lower then the frame rails does that bracket hang. It looks to be like 3 or 4" which seems awful low.

At one time the floor board had been worked on.
