Let me know if you need his number, he can probably tell you what all is involved.

Just tell Dave I referred you and he'll give you a great deal!
Pm sent....

Dave fabricated some pretty sweet mounts today to fix the problem. Unfortunately there was still some contact but not nearly as bad. He's gonna shave a little off the gussets then hopefully it will be good to go.

He is a vendor on here. You can send a pm to jeepaddons-chris or call 800-980-2765. As far as the fork lift goes, once everything is buttoned up, we are probably gonna head over to Javier's . I appreciate the help Bro.

Got the bypass shocks to clear, but the bottom of the coil over would not. Dave ended up notching out the top c-gusset to get them to clear. So make a note, if you plan on running the front Evo Double Throwdown on a dana 44 with c-gussets, go with Evo c-gussets.
