BTW. Not to create any scare tactic or anything:
For the first 100 or 200 miles drive the car rather easy and ease into any heavy duty driving. There is always the possibility WITH ANY protoyped vehicle that the drive shaft could slip out of the trans or somethinmg break.

Drive shafts have been known to come up thru the floor like a saw blade.

Try to avoid ANY suspension changes or CUTTING of the frame. Suspension alignment changes can come later after test drives. PRobably won't need any. About the only frame changes should be relocating the rear cross support member for the rear trans mount. Something like that.

I would avoid cutting the main frame any at all. Maybe drill a few holes if necessary but i even try to avoid drilling holes in the main frame rails except for maybe drilling new bolt holes for the REAR cross member for trans mount.
