Thanks guys. Here is a couple pics of what I am doing with front suspension. First up, I am doing a shackle reversal on this truck. It will be like a Toyota Hilux where the shackle is sleeved through the frame. On top of this as you can see I am frenching the leaf hangers into the frame. This is to shave an inch or two off height of the truck and help keep it low.

I am pretty close to actually getting the drivetrain all mounted up and then setting up the front axle followed by the rear axle. Got to focus on some other Patrols for awhile though.

Cheers
