Not to shabby. Looks real good. That was really clean on the bottom side to work on huh? Must have made all the work fairly easy. Did you run into any overly rusted/broken hardware while doin the install?

Looks awesome but your track bar is on wrong. The adjustable side goes on the frame side.

Yes it will because right now it curves up and then down. It is at an angle and will give you bumpsteer.

Flip the track bar so the adjustable side is on the frame side with it curving down, and the slightly up into the axle bracket. Makes sense?
