New long arm setup pics and 40's.
Well,
Actually, their more like radius arms. It's not totally done. I need to decide on fender flares or not and then get the fenders cleaned up. I've found a few new things I can 'improve' also. It rides better and looks killer.

I was pounding on the truck pretty hard today testing the suspension and I did turn the 40's over a little without any problem.
The radius arms were built by Josh Richardson @ Richardson's Rod n Custom www.richardsonsrodncustom.com
After helping him around the shop a few times when he needed it, I figured out that this guy knows his stuff!!! He doesn't build a kit, he builds the suspension components top to bottom and degees everything on site. He even looked up the factory wheelbase to match that back to spec. The arms are adjustable to move the axle forward or backward should I lift or decrease any. The top radius link is used to degree the castor. Man he thought of everything when he did this. Drive angles, steering clearance, fender clearance, ride quality, axle centering, EVERYTHING. When I left today, he said, bring it back if you have any problems and we'll fix it.
I will be going back for fender fixing and painting since I trimmed it alittle a long time ago. He doesn't want to do any body work until I make up my mind on fender flares or not. I still don't know yet.

Their attention to detail is what floored me. They did this stuff on their own without me asking.
The stock frame control arm mount.
Completely gone.
Stock axle control arm mounts.
Ready for new RA mounts.
