-Rear boomerang shackles
-T-case drop
-Remove front inner fenders
-Install Edelbrock shocks w/ external res.
-RE 4.5" coils
-RE Extreme duty trac bar w/ bracket
-Upper and lower RE super flex arms
-trim flairs (not remove or cut fenders)
-CB radio antenna
Pics will be up tomorrow!I don't always drink orange juice, but when I do, I prefer to chew it. #madpulp

Just finished for the day. I installed the rear shackles, front springs, shocks, upper and lower control arms, and trac bar W/ brace. Its 11:30 and I'm way too tired to post pics so you're going to have to deal with it for the night
P.S. the CB antenna was installed but hasn't been wired since the summerI don't always drink orange juice, but when I do, I prefer to chew it. #madpulp

As promised, the pics....just because it happened
I'm pretty happy with it over all. It rides a lot better, no more death wabble after hitting bumps on the highway, and feels stable. I might have to move the shock res. if my tires hit it. I don't have any flex shots yet because the extended brake lines aren't on yet.
Today I aligned the front end and dropped the transfer case. The two studs were nightmares to get out. After a lot of heating and vice-grips, they finally broke free. Other then that, everything went fairly smooth.I don't always drink orange juice, but when I do, I prefer to chew it. #madpulp

Tomorrow I have to do some serious rust control. I have no undercoat remaining and the stuff that is left is flaking off with chunks of rust attached. I'm going to go to town with a die grinder with a wire wheel maybe tomorrow and undercoat everything. Once thats done, I have to mount the sliders, do the brake lines, change the oil/transmission oil, and maybe get my BFG MT's mounted. The tread on those is slightly better then the ones on there nowI don't always drink orange juice, but when I do, I prefer to chew it. #madpulp
