Lowers are 27.3" and upper is 33". Thats the best I can do. After seeing these numbers I wish I had just made my own cross-member with link mounts built it but oh well.

Update got the front end all tacked together. Got the track bar mount tacked onto the frame..attempted to plate the frame where trackbar mounts...Im pretty much positive im going to rip it off.

F it. Here are some pictures.

Redneck ram steering box came in Friday. 4:1 will be here today. Still waiting on brake line extensions and my steering ram and lines. I also have to figure out my shock set up front a rear I currently have nothing.

Update: Just finished for tonight. Got everything burned in on the front axle. Finished my shitty frame plating and burning the track bar mount in. Finish Welded all the tube inserts onto my links and got them primed. Hopefully it will be done by tomorrow.
To do:
finish welding unibody stiffeners and upper link mounts on both sides.
Install new steering box
install 4:1
reassemble front end

Just slow down and turn your wire speed down, you're still moving too fast/without enough heat on some of those. Some look perfectly fine though.

Yeah I still need some practice. I'm very happy with all my welds on clean metal like my links them self and some of the link brackets but when I was actually welding to the front axle I couldn't get a good bead going to save my life some are ok but others are really shitty. Hope it holds.
