so what are you guys using for frame tubing? The pics look to be 2 x 3 1/8" or 3/16" wall? Thanks

I used 2x3x1/ 8... didn't have any trouble tapping either 8-32 holes or 1/4-20 for various clamps etc. .... don't forget to put the seams inside, makes for a clean looking rail..

Did you check your steering arm lengths and the axle brackets lengths compared to the plans? the one major problem you have is that the spring you are using is a 26" Speedway spring (the CCR plans call for a 29.5") this is a problem that may be able to be solved by using an offset type shackle plate and positioning the shock up above the spring eye, using a short shock and a longer tower. The shackles also look odd, are those just bolts going thru the plates with no shoulder? I will check the other dimensions you're showing tomorrow

a little adjusting right here will help clear tierod.

Here's a few photos of the CCR front end, arms and shock plates. This is a 29.5" spring and shackles have a stud with a shoulder to stop the plates without compressing the bushings
