Geez... maybe I need to look at my injection system. 40s sound great but need to stay smart... its my DD & not ready to gut the Lx cladding.I average between 13.4-14.2maybe you need 40s
I'm counting at least 6 dark green 80s on 40s now...

Have done some interior work too. Added a hand throttle, 3in shifter extension (lot easier to shift into low), external cb speaker, inclinometer, new head unit / speakers / sub

Looks awesome! Which shifter extender did you use? That looks a lot more useable than stock!
Looks good dude! I have to cut mine up too, probably going to leave the stock blinkers but may not have a choice after I move my axle forward with the 3 link..
Where did you get that shifted extension? And easy swap? Post a link if you can.

I have been throwing around the idea of a 3 link for a few months now. Almost want to sell off my axles, get some dana 60s and do some custom 3 and 4 link stuff. Are you keeping the stock front axle? Also are you having a shop do a total custom setup, or getting a kit from Ruffstuff or something and just have them put it together?

If you want it the same height as mine, you may want to order a 2in. Just remembered that you don't have a 1in body lift like I do.
It'll be custom but im sure they'll use some ruffstuff brackets or something. And yeah.. I thought about putting a 60 under the front but Andrew hasn't broke anything in 4 years so I figured it was probably fine. Only thing you need to upgrade is to chromo shafts/birfields (I went with RCV) and gears. Mine will also be trussed. I know I'd end up linking it so I thought I should just do that from the start haha

Yeah sounds good. I don't remember if I mentioned it in my earlier posts, but I went with some TG Long fields. If you haven't bought a truss yet, I would recommend one from Ballistic fab. Not only the cheapest but also the thickest steel I could find. Fits our 80 axles pretty well too. Only minor cutting needed.

if yo
u manage to nail the frame mounted OBA you got others probs jmoNot a bad idea! Would be slightly terrified of wrecking it though
I got one just like that but from somewhere else. Can't remember. But it is 3/16" thick as well. My upper link mount will somehow be incorporated into that

Saran Wrap and Eagle Rock Trip with @Andrew Bluemel. Got to winch a jeep stuck on both his diffs, and managed to wreck the non existent t-case skid plate. Somehow bent both rear lower control arms too

Andrew has a pretty sweet 80 with some 37s under it
Maybe time for some real armor.
