I spent today trying to get the X back on its feet.  I already had the two lower links half welded (Ran out of gas thursday night) so today I built the upper link and fabbed some brackets to go on it.  I also spent some time getting my misalignment spacers ready etc.  Once I got the links bolted in I made some quick bump stops (don't have the rubber bump stop for them yet) from some tub a bolt and some washers.  I then attached my springs to the spring perches and put the bump stop/upper alignment posts in place.  The upper alignment posts allow the springs to unseat from the buckets at full drup but guide them back in place on compression. After I got those in place I removed the jack stands and watched it compress down so it looked like it was doing a nose dive.  So up it went again and I moved the buckets down and put the weight back on it.  Then it was pretty much level. Thats about it for today.  Maybe this coming week I can finish everything up.  I have a trackbar and mounts to make.  Shock tabs to attach and a new Master Cylinder to install.

Cutting the Fish Mouths for the upper link.

Upper link done.

Weight back on the X. (Sitting way to low in front)

Adjusting passenger side

Dropping the drivers side bucket.  Gonna flex pretty good since the springs dont have to stretch.

Back to a good ride height. ;)

Links holding weight.
