Looks great man

Thanks for posting that up. I'm gonna be looking for a arms &  spindles/hubs/brake calipers.

I hope 15 1/4" shocks can be shoehorned in!

The width is 48" outside to outside of the rims.
They are 16.25" shocks.

Looks great sparky! How's she perform? Sure looks easier than a front clip. It's always nice having options.
I wonder if this would work as good on the 87up front ends. I'd say it would. Awesome thread

Sorry I haven't taken it out yet. And it's almost time to head back to the ship for a month👎
I'm not real thrilled with the kfx shocks but they may be fine?
I'm happy with the 48" width I just don't see a need for it to be wider. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get time to take it for a little ride tomorrow? Not sure.
There are a few things I might do different but I'll base that opinion after the first ride.
