Me too. You'll probly have yours on first. I'm going sloooooow. I'd really like to see where you mark your front axle center at.

in choosing the IFS kit, what was it about the JW kit that you liked better that the kits offered by other companies, especially the one from www.fatmanfab.com ?

[juddoats]

i talked to both companies about their builds....they seemed sooooo similar the JW rod was cheaper...and honestly the reason i decided on going with JW is the owner of the company just put one on a sweptline he was working on :)

[MountainMoparRobin]

that is 2 really good reasons

got my truck back tonight from getting the kit installed...wow is it ever low...it looks alot lower than it really is because the rear is still stock...once i lower it the front should come up alittle and i can adjust the height up a couple inches with the coilovers...took it all back apart and dropped the rear end and brake lines so i can get it powdercoated tomorrow and start putting it back together. :)

Here are a few pics of what my ride height is looking like after my JW kit got installed....i took it all apart and powdercoated the frame and will put back together tonight..ill get new pics up for you guys once i get it back together

did the powdercoating shop finish those welds up, or did the installer?

[juddoats]

the installer finished them up...those were just some that i took as they were building

[fosh69]

cool, can't wait to see it all prettied up. Was it installed on the old axle centerline? What is the hub to hub distance?

[juddoats]

yes installed on old axle centerline....hub to hub centerline was i THINK 114 1/2.....does that sound right?

I could be wrong but I believe he was wondering hub to hub distance on the front axle. Track width.

[juddoats]

hub to hub is the same as stock

[fosh69]

yes, it was track width I was wondering about... how did it turn out with the powder coating? Looks like a fine install. Power rack, I take it?

[juddoats]

turned out great after powdercoating...i have it mostly all put back together just lack putting the rack back on..i will take new pics this weekend and post...yes it is a power rack

Any updates? I've been considering this kit pretty heavily, but I like the fatman stage 3 design as well.
