Thank You very much for measuring that for me. I really appreciate it. I enjoy reading your thread. We never know what your going to come up with next. Congrats on the egt set up. Must be nice to get free stuff. Can't wait till you post what it weighs when your done. Fantastic Job for sure.

No problem man. Anything. Was just busy and kept forgetting.

I was shocked. They didnt really say much. They just asked what I was using and told them nothing.
So they said they were going to send me a little care package to help keep an eye on things especially since Im really going to be pushing it this year.
Made my whole year.

Not sure if you would be interested but Burkhart Chassis came out with a spindle mount setup like Midwest Chassis has. You still use your same shocks you already have. But you can use it on anyones K member with ball joints or Heim. You can only use MC's on their front end. You can get it with aerospace or Strange brakes. You can also get it to use with spindle mount wheels or the 5 lug hub whichever you choose. Bad part is we have the same setup you just bought and none of it will work on their setup. Not sure how much weight it would save over the cast iron but I would guess it would be a decent amount if you got the spindle mount wheels too.

Yea that would probably drop 50 pounds between both sides. Since I have the aluminum block. I dont want to take much more weight off from the front right now though. If it ends up scaling out alright and Im close to 57% up front. Id look into the 3rd gen style and spindles in the future.
