Looks pretty good so far. You need to set the upper and lower brackets up so they are parallel though. That 1/2" piece of steel on the lower isnt really needed, you can just weld the bag plate to the lower arm with a spacer to get it above the ball joint. What size wheels are you going to be running?

i will be running 17s for now, my only concern about not using the 1/2" piece of metal is that i will not be able to get a bolt in the bottom plate, ya know

Yah for that we drilled a hole under the bag mount big enough to slide the whole bolt through from under the control arm. Have you tested it with the wheel on to see if it lays out? Doesnt look like the lower arm goes up enough, but it might just be the angle of the pic.

i think we are gonna do the passenger side without the big metal strap and see which side works better

okay guys, what do you think of my progress????

looks good one question tho ...why didnt you notch the lower control arm??

it didnt look like i needed to, it lays out already. i will be borrowing a plasma cutter soon to raise my bed floor, maybe i will do them then

i was just curious i didnt think they would lay without notching them??

that doesnt look like itll lay.
