Very good quality job Dennis!! Man the boys do some great work..... It will be a pleasure to see my first burkhart item the bumper support. Should be here very soon. Thanks a bunch for the pics, you have no idea how much they help. Im guessing your diff is 4 inches shorter per side?? Im going to go with the afco shocks mounted uptop to to accomodate the bigger tubs later. Very nice job!!! Catch ya.

Thanks Robb!! If you need any more let me know and I'll get them to you. I am happy as hell with their work!! My rear is 5 inches per side and 15x12. Its a tight fit on the lower control arm but it will work. Later

Thanks again Man!! I thought it was 4 as Chuck said I had to move the lower controll arms in to go 5.... I said my controll arms in and he said I could go 5. Yeah im going the 12.5 rim to with the 12 inch slick. I think Chuck said a five inch backspace on the rims. Your lower controll arms dont look to close in my oppinion, The side wall is not going to distort to much..... I think that your setup is great!!

No hurry, cant wait to see your progress!! Looks like you got your car back from burkhart at the right time then, while the weather was good!! Ouch.... snow, yeah wouldnt be to keen on that either. Glad to see that work is busy for you also, that means more car parts!!
I'm going to try get something done to my junk tonight, might cut out for the torque arm, and try finish routing my shoot cable.
Catch ya.
