On the front I used Thorbecke Brothers S10 Upper & Lower Control Arms & DJM 2 drop spindles. Burks Chop Shop made the upper cups for bags.


I don't have any pics of axle but we cut off lower spring mounts & welded in lower bag mounts from Burks Chop Shop, then modified the original upper spring mounts & welded in new cups. we didn't need to make a huge notch since I didn't want to cut trunk floors or wheelhouses.


finally I mounted tank & comps above axle
