only day plate it at the moment, so no tests have been done yet, but i got access to a fork lift at work to really test it to make sure it doesnt bind when fully arcticulated. Here is a full behind shot, i trianglated the shocks and dont worry bout the exhaust hanging from the string, still plumbing it in

the biggest problem you will run into is finding room on the diff and dealing with the fuel tank on the driver side frame rail, the passenger side is the way to go seeing how the front swing shackle can be tucked up nice and high in the frame rail

Is there much articulation advantage to the shocks being triangulated? If it works out good how bout specs, pipe diameter and length, bushing size and so on. How much block do you have in the back?

The first big block is the factory one and the other 2-2.5" block came with my lift kit. One advantage of triangulated shocks is less dragging resistance on the bottom of the diff while plowing through the mud and yes those blocks are ****! Next project is gonna be a shackle flip on the rear and ripping the leaf pack down to a 3 leaf pack. Just need a bit of time, have had my fill on fabing stuff for a while, need to beat on the truck now
