Did you really spend all summer machining links and building a truss? I thought I was slow....

But thanks for the cudos on picking up your axles, there's still a nice big dent in the bottom of my bed. Just gotta love being reminded of you all the time

I forgot to add pictures of the new drivetrain placement:

Flatbelly. The transmission is going to be in my lap though lol.

Transmission/transfer case crossmember.

Gained alot more clearance to stuff my suspension in. Still planning this out.

Headers installed.

Made new motor mounts.

5fiddy+1 Whatcha know about that GM?!

Have adjustable link brackets? I feel like you may want less anti squat to get more "bite"

My adjustable link brackets are a grinder and lots o welding wire

I'm pretty sure the bite you are referring to is the normal force? More % of AS gives you more normal force while preventing front end unloading if I am not mistaken.
