Nice Build!!!! And what better than a Bumpside Ford.......My Favorites! Happy owner of 3 Bumps All Stock suspension, 3/4 ton with all the original goodies.2 Crew cabs with short box. 1 is 4x4, one 2wd. Then my Sweet Survivor is a 70 Sport Custom Camper Special with 78k original. Motors all FE Big Blocks. Have had them all in excess of 45 yrs! My 2wd Crew Cab gonna get full restore this year hopefully thats the goal. Have thought about bagging my 69 crew and will decide in the next couple months. Thanks for your Great content. You are doing Nicely!!!!
I appreciate it! That's awesome, both are awesome vehicles. I have some parts I need to add to the fj80 collecting dust and hopefully I can get some off-road video's as well.
It was a little taller than originally planned. If I placed the bags on the links it would lift higher and wouldn't have had to notch the rear so much much.
I wanted to lay the body on the ground aired out and have the bags under the frame rails. So a combination of measurements between all that. Axle placement, I made a mark on the frame where the center of the axle was stock and replicated that when I Fabricated/installed the 4 link. The 4 link bars are adjustable so I am able to fine tune it from there. Hope that helps.
