I wanted to make the truck standing on it's own so the work order was: front axle truss, panhard and upper link and spring/shock mounts

The truss

Started with the axle springs mounts, similar to the 3d printed i have in the back but in steel to be welded









Added a 5mm square steel rod,tight to the housing





To finish, the panhard mount next to the knuckle and the angled upper link mount





The idea behind the truss was making it low profile so it wouldn't hit the frame rails but in the same time, looked from factory. The angled link mount allows to use straight rods and has a thread to avoid the "nut and bolt"


The spring mounts:







In place:







Next, secure the bumper
