Thanks Marty!

No, not a DSE kit. Just the Swivel Links, Upper shock x-member and upper shock mounts are from DSE.

The x-member material, panhard bar material, and lower shock mounts are from AME.

I did the mini-tubs the old school way (long before DSE Deep Tubs were available), as well as built the panhard brackets, 4-bar brackets, x-member, and load boxes.

I first did the suspension about six years ago. Since then many options have come to market and would save a lot of time!!

Even though it makes packaging mufflers a little challenging, I do like the fact that I have a x-member going from rocker pich weld to pinch weld! I sectioned the rear frame rails to do this, and the SFC's tie in just in front of this intersection, should help stiffen up the chassis a bit!

Thanks again for the kind words guys!!
