It looks good Tracy but is there something in the way of making them go straight up and down?? I'm curious because I plan on moving mine up... Jeff

His research said it made for better weight transfer front to rear.

You said it Alan, and it looks way cooler, moving on to the doubler so I can wheel this puppy. Did a rough fab up of a linkage using a throttle cable out of a Cessena (air plane). Gave it some extra leverage for an easy pull and prefer to use the pull/push knob for ease of mounting, if it dosent work I can still use a B&M or Hurst cable and do the same thing and just put a knob on the end of the cable.

No sign's of Laser Cat throughout the whole project, the last job didn't pay him well except for a bit of wet cat food although it was white label. Finally got some requested house maintenance/reno/build projects completed so I was able to put the jeep back together, almost feel like I accomplished nothing where it looks the same, was able to bring the front end down an inch and keep the same up travel, was going for 2" but forgot to put jack stands under the rear so it squatted when I unloaded the front. So the beauty of these coilovers is the Jouncers (bumps) on the shaft are enough, didn't need bump stops or limiting straps, they are made to do without although I think I will throw a pair in anyways, just need longer ones now, total travel is 16. minus the jouncer which will compress to maybe and inch so I should be looking around 15 ish. All that is left is a mount to hold the coilover and relocate the evap. Is that where your leaving the coil over reservoir's?

Not dangeling on top of my motor, I think I have room down each side of the hoops, that will probably be the last thing I do I just want to get the doubler out of the way.

Am I missing something? How is the second shift rail accuated? Or do you just not have it hooked up yet?

So the aluminum box thing is to hold shift rails since the D300 is flipped? Is the doubler a 231 based unit? Jeep, Chev? Neat pivot points for the cables, some mechanical advantage there.
I guess you'll have to run two cables?
shock mount looks like in interferes with bracket at the top.
MOAR pics of doubler? I'm luvin that box shifter thing.
