ya kinda lucked out with the wheelbase as was more about fitting the body to the frame then trying to get a target wheelbase. pretty sure the last truck was right around the 117 and it worked well for our wheeling

not much for an update but got the front suspension done. was able to use the stock upper mounts and welded new lower mounts to the diff instead of the ubolt plate. added some C channel on the frame for the bump stops to hit, even if i dont think i will be able to flatten the springs enough to actually hit them :homer:

In my experience bumpstops are always a good idea. When you think there's no way you're going to compress the suspension that much, well, that's when you definitely will do so with extreme force. :lmao:
