brackets were made as well as a front cross member, had to make sure the frame didnt relax from welding.


this one was fun.


so the front is now attached. im waiting on new bags for the front (air over shock) and making upper control arm mounts. sooo pretty much waiting on some pay checks and time

Ridetech 4.1" 32 way adjustable compressing and rebound

The passanger side has gone smooth. When i talked to ridetech they said no one there has made C5 front suspension work on airbags... well i have. i made plates for the Control Arm that integrated the shock mounts with the plate as well as clamping the L channel of the arm (since it it forged aluminum). I didnt want to drill it because forged aluminum is prone for cracking at a hole without a boss, and you cannot weld it without losing its structure.



Then the driverside frame got in the way.... so i cut the frame back apart and am sleeving the tubing for the rack and pinnion steering shaft (didnt have the shocks when i made it)





here is the new section of the frame completed

Got the front lug converters in because im hoping to have it rolling on air by the time next semester starts

I got the front located with some brackets i had laser cut at work. came out really good IMO

My uncle finished my Watts link. it came out perfect. now im making the bearings and seals. i think he was waiting on christmas

Incredible work so far.
I love your frame jig. We do something similar with circle track chassis' so we can put them back to the base points after a wreck.
