you put the upperarms on the rear side on wrong. they need to point to the front of the truck

i was getting a little confused about that, but i checked the setback arm page at UE and i think they have to be turned round so the spring can clear

thanks for all the comments guys, i've got the shocks mounted and i'm nearly ready to mount the front and rear ends on the chassis, i just checked out my gen4 SS though and the bearings kinda crumbled as i pulled them out, i'll get some new bearings and post pics when its all mounted

hi everyone, i have an update on the build

I have mounted the front and rear ends to the chassis, the Gmaxx centre driveshafts line up really well. They were a bit of a tight fit into the UE drive cups but a little fuel tubing in each cup and the problem was solved.

I also had to rebuild my servo saver, as when i opened it to clean it the bearings kind of crumbled out onto the floor. But a set of new bearings and shes running like a champ.

I'm just waiting on some UE pillowballs so i can mount the knuckles and cvd's properly, they should be here in the next few days...

I'll post pics as soon as i get the pillowballs and finish up the suspension

thanks

i guess you could say its a roller!! Definately getting some new shoes before the end of the build, im thinking 40 series wabash dyed black, with bowties :



thats all for now, i'll keep you guys posted on any progress, but $600 is alot of money

I gotta say... They just don't get prettier than that. Absolutely smashing. Great job Jordan.
