Got the axle and 4-link back from powder coat and started putting it all together. Went black with a rainbow flake over it. I like it. Its subtle in some light, and bling bling the rest of the time. So many colors in it. In the pictures it reminds me of oil and water.

Limiting straps for the "chain bridge" with quick release pins.

Articulation. The axle drops 10" on one side.

This is how the chain bridge works. When you apply pressure to one side it uses the limiting strap as a pivot and pulls the other side of the axle up towards the frame.

Where do you get the limiting straps? Or did you make them?

PolyPerformance. Best looking ones I've seen.

Sweet, did you just go to the local hardware store for the pins? I am just wondering about the grade of the pin?

I had to make them. I machined them last week and sent them out to be heat treated. They are now supposed to be the equivalent of a grade 9 bolt. You could always just use a bolt, or hitch pins, but I didn't like the look of hitch pins and wanted the quick release option if for some reason he wants to lift the truck up higher.
