    and on the lower arms the two tubes running towards the rear mount are double sheared into the box portion of the arm...and have a tube inside connecting the two.

    Are you guys planning on running coil-over and bypass? Personally, I think that a forward mounted strut is a bit stronger, so if you're not going to run cob or have the ability to run them in-line, then switch to a forward strut. That's just my opinion.

    Looking good so far though, keep it up.

    the arms are both gonna be strong but the way ou have to mount eh rear strut is the weak link. the inner frame rail is really thin and it's hard to get a nice crossbrace between them with the motor and tranny in the way.
