I like it. What size is the tube? I would be a little afraid of it bending.

2x.25 was going to sleeve it with 1.5x:25 but tommy ducked that up. This is the same thickness as the cage arms everybody jacks off too
That would depend on size but there is substantially more Clarence than stock superduty

No, I was experimenting with friction welding. You decided that it wasn't necessary
Finally I have something ready for paint.
ordered drag link parts from xxx traction. should be here tuesday.
did you make a crossmember for your frame mounts?

No cross member, now that paint has to be removed so I can finish bracing.

That's why I said on the phone "ill drill the holes and paint it and they'll be done.". And you said "yeah man that would be badass". I didn't realize that "yeah man that would be badass" really means "don't paint it because I have to finish bracing it."
Haha you think I listen when you talk...
It no big deal

Might want to consider a quick crossmember to help tie it all together.

steering setup from xxx traction.....assholes.
Guy said it was a moog tre, so $150 didn't seem bad. Those mother****ers sent me a trw tre. Like I wouldn't know the ****ing difference.
and ****ty lug nuts....all I can find for now

Finally radius arms are done! We finished bracing them this afternoon and i'll paint and mount them for good tomorrow.
The price of the radius arms has way exceeded the price of the axles. I think that I may have spent over $700 in just materials.
$300 in tube
$250 in heims
$50 in Plate
At least $75 in bolts
$30 in drill bits
$35 in welding wire
$20 in grinding wheels
ok, maybe $800
Im already way over budget. but i'm real happy with how they came out.
still to go
-finish weld the coil mounting points
-something for shocks
-Mount roller tires
-Drag link and track bar (waiting on machine work on xxx Traction's kit)
-Figure out brake booster and mc. (thinking of keeping the stock booster with a 02 lightning mc)
-Run brake lines and bleed
-fill a.b.s sensor hole with some amsoil grease
-seal up diff cover and fill with amsoil severe gear (I'll be in touch, Ed)
Take it to ford for a 64 point inspection and watch them scratch their headsBetween the tbi, and superduty axles they'll be confused for a while.
wow. how many feet of tube is that? and where are you buying bolts? sucks how the consumables add up
