I want to say its about 1 3/4 but no problems so far and it does not hang much lower.The Heim joints is so the way to go. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I think I'd develop a cold sweat every time I went for a drive if the lowest part of my chassis was my steering center link :S Quote Link to comment

The Birdman Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 So this is what my engine compartment looks like right now. I like the choice of engine compartment coating. I'd like to do mine like that, what did you use? (I just finished running thru your whole thread and saw the Line-X comment, so no worries.) Congrats on your recognition! You've got a lot of work in the truck and it's great you get some recognition for the time and effort! I'm going to borrow a few of your ideas if you don't mind. I'm liking the durable Line-X because my 521 is a 4X4 conversion. And I like the way the Red paint works in there! I get my long block L20B this week and will likely go with the red also for the block and various other parts. Quote Link to comment

No problem bro,and yes its the line x,the only down fall is i like things clean and with the finish of the line x it makes it hard to clean if you have everything polished because to wipe it down its ok,but to use a water hose would be better and yours being 4x4 i think it will be just fine.Plus prep is easy and so durable.

It's just what a 4X4 needs! I like polished parts too, but rock crawling is a dirty thing and a pressure washer makes short order of the days dirt. So when is your truck getting paint, I'm curious as hell to see what you have lined up for it! Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I got alot more to do,so i might run the patina so called look for a bit.Redo suspension lower the bed skirts maybe swap out to fuel injection now change my interior to suede with buckets i think kind of like the bench seat and just all kinds of little stuff i can waste more money i mean spend good money on.
