Watching with great anticipation.

Look great man! Be sure to rosette weld those slugs in the end of the tubing in at least 4 places. A good rosette weld is where most of your strength comes from in a tube insert. Keep up the good work!
If I am visualizing this correctly there will be 2 pivot points and 2 tubes on the LCA kind of like the Upper Control arms have? For that to come out or move the whole K Frame would need to rip apart........That is some Beef!
Yep. \\/ An adjustable strut rod will have to be used if a guy wants to make caster adjustments correctly or I guess that the bushings on the strut rod could be cut on the cheap.
I have read the entire thread, but either it was not mentioned or I do not remember. You can not use factory torsion bars, you would have to convert over to coilovers, correct?
Amazing work! Making good progress! Subscribed
Just an Idea,, can you make the bend on the 90* Tube follow the same angle as the Main Tube and then Dog leg it into almost the same area that you have it at now? That tube would have 2 different bends in it so I don't know if it is possible. Seems it would miss the Strut Rod that way and you would have room for the sway bar provision also.... Hard to tell in the pictures though.
Does the sway bar go above the LCA or Below it? Trying to picture it in my mind.
I have tried that also Louis, but a 90 will be best to clear everything and still be mounted out far enough to give the arm support and also tie it into the gusset. Another issue is clearing the brake caliper.
The sway bar goes below the arm.
Here is another attempt and I think it will work. As long as I have clearance with the frame rail. I guess I will have to mock one side up on my car to make sure, but looks like it should work.
