Man I'm tired. Might change to cage coils. These were cut to work with the stock buckets, so "J"clips might work but not sure.
Oh this is REAL close to the final height. Just what ever the tire squat is.

Put the stock F150 inner lower retainer inside the coil. That way it has a positive side to side retainer and the ballistic retainer will hold them down.

Tomorrow I will put new joints in the axle shafts and then build up the 44.

See they are cut!

Also going to take apart the 2 beadlocks that are leaking and RTV the bead. Hopefully that will seal them up.

Left on the list.
Brake lines (44 and 8.8)
Front and rear DS
Steering
Track bar
Tranny crossmember (currently have a stock one back in to hold it up.}
Front shocks
Lower mounts for the rear shocks.

What axle is that in the front?

Your work looks great and I look forward to the final outcome. What size tires are planned under that beast?
