My son's truck is back at the shop with some more front end mods.  I help with the machining part and tool and jig making.  He builds new lower front A-Arms.  This pushes the front wheels out another 3" and adds more travel.  He purchased the upper A-Arms, new front shocks & driveshafts.  To the rear Wheel spacers and gas bump stops were also added.  In all everything worked out great, quite the challenge with getting the correct orientations, so we made a tool for measurements, then made a jig to build the A-Arms.

I am now selling the Dovetail Cutter I have done a series on making these.  See Links.  If you are interested in obtaining one, contact me through You Tube messages, Face Book - Randy Richard or email me at [email protected],  5/8", 16mm or 1/2" shanks.  They are made to order by me.
