Then cut the cable to length, thread it thru the bolt, fold a 1/4 in and pull it tight into the bolt and pour some lead in there to hold it tight.
Thats a hella good idea Tyler.......I will be lookin ya up when I get to that point on my build.

Heres what the linkage is gonna look like.. bracket is just settin there, its the 3rd time its been welded to accommodate the intake its been on. The cable is adjustable.



Flux Core Welder FTW



Heres what Danny and I got accomplished today. The rear consists of the 2 inch shackles and 2 in hangars and load level spring taken out. Fronts consists of 1 coil cut out. Pretty simple and pretty cheap.
