Here are some pic's of the finished install.....Everything went smooth except for one issue.....I wanted to keep the ride height just as it was.......the Coil-over shocks that were shipped with the kit set the ride height when they were fully extended........so....Donnie ordered a new set that were 2" longer ........The kit was designed to work with the shocks as delivered and with the 9" Ford rear in the car, the yoke is lower than a Chevy rear........So.......With the longer Shocks the triangulated bar now hit the driveshaft yoke.......They to make a bracket to lower the bar to get it to clear........The Gas Tank is installed and the fill tube all hooked up......Here are some pic's before the wheels and tires are installed

Donnie and the crew at Frame-up did an outstanding job on the Nomad.....Changing to the 4 link set-up made a lot of things happen.....Gas Tank change......eliminating the spare tire well......and Trashing out the brand new exhaust system that doesn't fit anymore.....Anyhow.......I haven't driven it yet, but...here are some pics of the car back on the ground.....

That Nomad truly is a beauty. What a killer road trip car.
