Thanks.

No linkage issues. There is a slight rubbing under the plastic steering column but that started a few days after, need to look into it. There is no change in any functionality. X-fer lever is lower but not a problem (I'll take pic and post). Tranny had very slight bind when shifting into park. I gained access to the shifter gate and smoothed out the parking gate and the bind went away. It rides the same only 1" higher. My only gripe if you want to call it that is now I cannot see the top bar on the ARB so I have to reacquiant myself with where the front end is and how far out it sticks. You guys with factory bumpers or Slee units have no worries.

I think this should be a must do for anyone who lifts an 80, it'll help with exhaust routing and tire cleareance with the larger sizes. We'll see what transpires in the next couple years, I may go to 2" but as Ammo and Christo have mentioned there is much more work involved.
