It looks even better in real life its turning into a serious bit of kit well done Tim

I also love the new axle being 2" wider with the bigger wheels it makes the front beam look even narrower

Give it one more turn of the dye

How refreshing

 

[commeracer]

I think we can live with that amount of error, it was probably worse when it left the factory

Shocks are now attached to the van

So that,s it for the back end, apart from the brakes, and fine adjustments [^]

No sweat Rich

Boots on

Pleased to report that everything fits ok with no clearance issues [^]
Just have to set the diff angle and fine adjust things once it,s on the deck.
Something went wrong though, as there is at least 4" between the axle and bump stops
