Yes.

East Bay Frame and Axle, in San Leandro can do it all - including lifts, alignments, and custom work.

510-569-4285, 1366 Doolittle Dr (Davis & Doolittle)

They can do it all.

I highly recommend these guys!

Oops, sorry. I didn't mean to insult and sorry for the mistake. I still think you did an awesome job

You can do everything you really need to do with a few inches and the rest is handled by bumpstops and leverage.

YEAH, thaz raght! LMAO That is the most obscene sentence I've ever read on this board. Oops back to the subject.

Overall it looks good.

I would reconsider the safety of the steering. The drag link looks like it was bent and then attempted to be reinforced. You' d be much better off going with a hy-steer type setup (steering above springs / on top of knuckle).
