Ok sorry guys for abandoning my thread lol .... I was hospitalized for three years and while trying not to get to political basically Donald Trump’s meddling in our medical system and his political BS has prevented long-term pain management so when he forced MEDICARE to only allow 10 days most insurance companies started following suit as well realizing hey we can save some money.. Being a disabled vet one time I had 30 broken bones lost vision in my left die paralyzed multiple wounds, Which left me with massive nerve pain arthritis more metal in my body Than a Pinto.. Anyway when I realized I wasn’t gonna be able to get long-term pain management after my pain doctor retired and have been seen for years, And he went into a different field in the medical community and I couldn’t find another pain doctor in the entire city to city for that matter take over my care it’s not like I’m on the type of narcotics and she can get high on my methadone which is great for pain and you don’t get high but Trump has Dr so scared because he wrote an open ended more than allows ****ing drug enforcement agency but doctors behind bars but doing their job granted yes there are a few pill mills I don’t agree with but the junkies they still get their drugs illegally and they still get street drugs those of us who follow the rules and knee pain medication because we have no other options I just screwed already lost two friends to suicide over this but anyway.. So I tried Spinal Cord Tech me later when they put wires into your spine and they have this device that pulsates electricity the block your brain from reading the pain signals anyway I Cars MRSA In the OR and for three months I complained and the doctors kept missing it they blamed it on my gallbladder took that out and my appendix meanwhile the Mercer took over my body and it up in my brain it was everywhere ended up with a massive cyst in my vertebrae long story short after six months of IV antibiotics they cleared everything up except for the big cyst they end up removing all the vertebrae in the center of my body to get rid of it and for ribs, been in the hospital for two years six months and I see you almost dying three times more surgeries and I can count one of which was 20 hours long anyway I ended up with a bedsore that engulfed my entire hip and I almost lost it stage four..so it’s been hard to say the least and I forgot about the thread.. I’ve done quite a bit and I’m about to start the next major don’t want to say build but I guess next major step or continuation of the build on the truck..
so I will post some of the stuff I did I kind of briefly go over a little bit just to get everybody caught up and then let y’all know what the next step is anyway I hope everybody has a great Thanksgiving and for those of us like myself who decided to cancel it because it’s just not worth the risk elderly parents young grandkids plus my health ain’t that great anymore etc. etc. so it’s just another meal anyway and for those of you who are going to enjoy Thanksgiving I hope it’s a safe one..

ok not quite sure what you mean by axle wrap because I don’t have any springs anymore for them to wrap if that’s what you were meaning ! Or the Actual rotation of the housing ? anyway here’s some better pictures for you..

Had the bed tubbed which allows those big 351/40/22 to tuck under ..

4link or 2 link and a wishbone however it’s up each person how they see it,lol.

Look at the arrow the housing is bolted to the lower links so it doesn’t move or have any axle bounce ,or at least I’ve never felt on before..the guys who built this are on that Texas metal show, and while some of the things I don’t agree with they seem to build for some pretty well off and well known guys,although I didn’t agree with what they did to the ZL1 in the first season!lol...
If you look at the next set of pictures the axle housing is bolted to the 2 front links

These are the first set of gauges I had installed,but then I didn’t like them,and swapped them out for a set of Digital gauges so I can keep it a little bit more exact, as I had some issues at first not knowing right where it was set and I get OCD on some things..

Switches installed top are for front and back suspension bottom are to brighten up my life,lol.they are for the two ridge LED BARS in front & the two ridge led back up lights in the rear bumper..

Planning for the switches and gauges, which I need up redoing as the final set shows..
