We got some more work done today. I made new lower control arms that are 1" narrower. They utilize the factory ball joint and are made from 1/4" and 3/16" plate with a polyurethane bushing for the pivot. I will also be making new uppers as well. Also Andy has been working hard on welding up the floor. The frame covers are completed and the tranny cover and rear pieces are made. We had to cut the floor out above the gas tank so we could move the gas tank up above the frame rails. Anyway, on to the pics...

guys i have a question. I have a 94 mighty max bagged (NOT BODYDROPPED) and am having trouble with my front-end. The tow-in is awful. I have all factory parts (tie rods, control arms, etc.) that have been checked and reinstalled properly. I have all new ball joints, etc. when I lay the truck out the tires swing out big time and camber in. The camber may not be something I can do much with. Anyways, how do you guys bag these might max's and lay them out without the tires cambering in and the tow-in be great? What can I do to get my truck to lay or be able to ride low without eating my tires up? I'm only running 18's and you guys get your mighty max's to lay or be able to ride low on 20's with no camber & tow-in issues. it's amazing how you guys do this! with the front end all stock except bags & shocks--to get the alignment just right is this accomplished only by getting the front-end aligned by a shop properly or is it something you guys are doing? i have pics of my front suspension to send to anyone that will help me out. Thanks guys! first pic the bags have no air, they're deflated, second pic bags are inflated, 3rd pic bags are deflated, 4th pic bags are inflated. Please help!

John... I can't answer your question 100% yet. The biggest thing about your truck I noticed is that it doesn't look like you have drop spindles. These would probably help you out. My mazda had some bump steer, but not nearly as much as it looks like you do. The steering on the mitsu's looks to be the biggest pain in the arse. The drag link hangs down really low. I am trying to figure out what to do with it. Plus the box is right against the firewall, so connecting to the steering wheel with the body drop is also going to be a pain.
