Great truck, I love F1's of all stripes.

Quick question for you... did you fab up your brackets for the front 4-bar set up? Did you buy that stuff as a kit or from someone on this board? I'm thinking about doing this - any help or info is much appreciated.
 
yes i made them from a piece of 4 inch agle iron and an 8 inch piece of 2x4 box cut in half. i got the idea from a guy on KB. the thread is hard to find but its there. there is also a guy on ebay that sells a pretty cool bracket that bolts right to the axle for like 75 bux. RF1

His set up looks similar to what I built for mine. Here's a few pics for you.
