Yeah I'm not interested in a walk-thru someone else made. If it was one of the factory ones I would probably think about it, since I want a 4WD truck anyway.
Triangulated lower control arms, and cut 1.25" off the top of the arm and plated with 3/16" plate to lower the bag down.
Unfortunately, the suspension is still about 1.5" away from laying on the new tires. The upper bag mount is just not set up right, which I did not do BTW. I will probably be redoing the front bag mounts after Reso. They are a little haggard.

Drivers side is tubbed. This is what they look like before grinding.
Put a clutch from a 90 Honda Accord under the dash.
Crazy contraption.
Made an offset brake pedal linkage thing.
Works great. I swapped it over to manual brakes, got a 60s Corvette master cylinder. Gives plenty of room for the tires. I can't get all the fittings I need to plumb up the brakes, so I just plumbed the fronts so it can be pushed on and off the trailer safely.

Got this thing rolling today. It doesn't drive yet, but will in January. Just needs the wiring harness and valves plumbed. And yes it will go past the pinch. Its dropped to the rocker, but the front doesn't lay (I didn't do it) and its getting re-done in January. Then I will roll the pinch. I figured it looked better laying pinch than sitting nose high.
Love that low floor.
It does a standing 3 wheel with a little weight in the back (about 100 lbs) with the help of the chain bridge, so hopefully with a full tank it will do it. And also if the front airlines weren't T'd. Can't wait to see what it will do while moving.
