Thanks Man.

Lol, i guess lucky for me your not living anywhere close to me.
Anyways, all of my link mounts I got from sniperfab.com. Very nice guys. I had them make me custom sizes that fit the front radius arms. The spring buckets I ended up cutting off the fzj80 frame, which by the way was a total pain in the arse. I also managed to get the panhard mount of the frame as well. Ill get pictures of all this stuff when I get a chance. About the springs, the ones pictured are stock, but Im setting it up to run about a 2" to 2.5" lift spring. That will give me enough rome for 35" tires. The hubs that Im running came off my fj60, I did have to machine a new groove into the splines on the 80. Its been done before. Someone here on mud did a writeup of that.
The rear is another story, Im triangulating the links to get rid of the panhard and also making them much longer, Ill document that when i get to it.
Ill try and stay a bit more up to date on the build.
