I plan on offering those, along with many other items for our trucks, to those who want them, but not untill I have first made a set to run on my own truck to ensure that they are 100% safe. If I don't trust it enough to run it on my truck There is NO WAY I am going to let somebody else run them. I will definately let you guys know when I get stuff going and I am able to supply what I hope to be a decent demand.

Cost should definately be alot lower than everyone else, I plan on this being a side business to my full-time job as a welder, and I don't see why I should charge too much more for labor than what I get paid at work. Just cost of materials, and a little extra for my time.

Just the lower,this is to keep the pinon angle for thr front drive shaft correct,when a leveling kit is put on.I have these on my 02 with a ajustable track bar with a 34x11.50 tire with no rubbing with a 4.5 inch back spacing on my rim MOTOS.hope this helps dm.Those in the pic are for the 01.

I've been thinking of building a set too, as I have 100' of 1 1/2" DOM already and a notcher and all that good stuff.

Anybody have any good ideas on how to make them adjustable though? I want to be able to run them with my leveling kit in on the street, and then when I go to race, I'm going to pull the leveling kit and run some shorter springs to drop the truck down a little bit (2" bellow stock). Not sure how much adjustment I'll need yet, probably only an 1 or so total I would imagine though.
