The metal fab guy got my strut plates finished already............
I just had to weld in (3) 5/16" bolts in from the backside to complete them after a test fit........
Here is the plate bolted to the top of the strut............
And now in the car............
These plates make EcoMudder as tall as it will go before the passenger side axle starts to rum the lower control arm mount. As far as the rear, I simply loosened the pinch bolt on the rear struts and moved the spindle down all the way to the bottom of the strut. The car has actually leveled out and no issues with camber...........
I also got a chance to relocate the ignition coil into a safe place where no mud will go unless I really sink it good..................
