How did you get the camber right? Will you be able to adjust/align it?

everything is adjustable except for the camber. the knuckles were build with 13 deg in them, which is what most newer axles are. i machined jigs for everything for when i welded them together so they should be pretty good. its really no different than most other solid axles out there. i haven't put it on the rack yet but when i do if there is something off i will just have to machine some custom spacers for the joints to correct it. i'm not to worried, its just aligned with a fat max tape measure and my lazer eye right now and it drive pretty dang straight.

hey thanks man, i really appreciate that. i have worked for a few different custom fab/suspension shops over the years. the last 4 years i have been working as a heavy diesel mechanic for a mine in Utah. it was the money that got me. i'm going to start doing more custom stuff on my days off cuz i love doing it and i have the stuff to do it. ya know just have my own little fab shop with no real overhead.

i had to build a new track bar bracket for the frame end. I had to cut off the stock one and fab this one in its place. I need to take more pics of it. it is welded on the frame but it also goes under and across the cross member that goes under the engine about a 1/3 of the way. kinda like where some of the drop brackets bolt on. i think it should be pretty stout. you can also see the air spring in the second pic all installed.

this is a pic of the axle under the truck before i had the track bar and drag link on yet. i used tie downs to keep the axle centered so i could get the truck out of the shop for a few days why i went back to work. the second pic is a better shot of the air springs installed with the adapters in the stock coil buckets. for the time i just made a short air line to fill the bags up with till i can get the air system i want installed.

for my track bar and my drag link the plan was to use a right and left had threaded joints on each end so i could adjust them. but when i went to make them i had to put some bends in them to clear the brackets at full turn and the frame at full drop. so what i did is use a weld on joint on the one side and then make an adjuster for the other end, kinda like the factory. these to pics are of the adjusters that i made. i used pinch bolts on these as well.

for the tie rod i was able to just use a left hand thread joint on one end and a right on the other. i really wish i could have done this on the drag link and track bar and kept them straight but it would have taken some work to modify the frame and stuff and i dident really think it was worth it. i figure if i really want to in the future i can, just mod the frame and replace the track bar.

so this is the latest pic i have of the front end right now. its all installed with the track bar, drag link, tierod, brakes. i dident have my hyd assist steering hooked up yet. i had to make some longer lines and route them a diffrent way. i need to get some pics of it now at full drop and full compression. i still have not got the 4wheel drive hooked up yet. i have three out of the four axle shafts that i need. it worked out pretty sweet in that regard because i'm just using cromo 35 spline chevy stub shafts (cuz the hubs and spindles are chevy). i'm going to keep the center 35 spline for the ease of getting axle shafts. i'm using the longest 35 spline cromo dana 60 shafts they make for the inners and the lengths worked out just about perfect. the axle ended up being about 1/4" wider than the rear. so i just need to get one more inner shaft, ring and pinion(cuz i changed to 4.10 gears) and an install kit and i should be good to go. i will probably have to modify my drive line also. i also put my waren 35 spline locking hubs on that i had taken off my jeep when i went to drive flanges.
