Finally got the front bag brackets in today aswell. With any luck Ill be able to find some tires and have them mounted probably the weekend after next. Was wanting to wait a month before mounting tires on the fresh paint, but I think 2 weeks will be alright.

Another short update. Got the tires mounted and balanced and started on the breakdown of the front end a bit. Had to cut out the top of the shocks, both caliper slide pins wouldn't budge a bit, tie rods and upper ball joints shot, and bearing and races no good. Gonna be ordering the upper and lower balls, tie rod ends and calipers w/brackets tommorrow from napa if one of the other stores around here doesn't carry decent ones. Did get the bearings, races, and seals for the hub thou and got the rotors mounted.



Since I was already tearing it down and apparently getting new balls I figured i'd go ahead and cut the bump stops,



and flip the lower balls. Not to sure if i cut out enough. It is grinded down flush with the control arm and the lower ball joint will bolt up fine. Any opinions as to if the gap is large enough?

It looks like your going to have to cut a little more to clear them GL!

Had a little time to work on it today and got most of what i set out to do finished. Got the upper and lower ball joints, tie-rod ends, shocks, and a brake line put on. Will try to finish the "static stage" on the front either tommorrow evening or saturday morning.

Crappy pics of what use to be an upper ball joint.





The calipers, brake lines, tie-rod ends and adjusters, and upper and lower ball joints.



Progress so far......passenger side

nothings like knowing your front end is solid
A lot of people over look making their truck safe before modifying it to hell!

Well got the front back down on the ground with the rims on it. Was in sort of a hurry with pics after checking some clearances, but they are pics of the rims on (the front) nonetheless.



Frogs...? don't ask

Actually they are H3's, the mini hummer. And thanks, they turned out looking better than I thought they would.
