Good to see you back Cooper, hope you had a nice holiday.

That last pic of max articulation, if it were to flex that far loaded, would it not roll on its side?

Thanks joe, Florida weather was nice for a few days, left in 70s and got home to 10s!!!

The second pic with ruler is going to be max articulation. That one pic was with no limit to travel. I wasn't sure how much material to mill/lathe out so I just figured adding spacers (internally) to the shocks would be easier than trying to set parts back into exact location for more machining. (Reality-I didn't know what I was doing or going to end up with) and that may change once I can get a load in the truck to see how much movement happens. Also can change stiffness with different springs. It's all trial and error. So I'm trying to allow for future tweaks that wouldn't be needed by making new parts.

You got to slow down on your projects joe, your gonna dig yourself out of work!!!!

Thanks truckmaker, Bo, design element is in my head, it may be burning out on this build!! It's all still chunky and a lot of pieces will get reworked. Just want to make sure they work first and I'm still not sure how the rest is going to happen so I may need some of that material down the road .

Thanks guys, guess it's approved by ya'all!?!
