Will you be getting any photos of it with the 1:1? It, as with anything Reg builds looks good on your truck.

These little guys might work but I think they would even be a tight squeeze without butchering things. I got two of them recently for something else but haven't used them yet.

Looks good Bigford, what do you do to your lift axle to allow it to still float over bumps when it's in the down position?

I used heavy thread for sewing leather. passed it through the servo arm
then around the mounts on the Tamiya steering axle free float when down strong
enough to hold the axle up
