What was your list of parts to start this conversion so that I know just what to get for my rig?

:beer:
 
That is a pretty sick setup. Don't the crossover steering links get in the way of the leaf springs when the springs compress? Also, that is your stock steering right? What modifications did you make?

:beer:

Looks really nice, not to high either. Cookiemonster has been wanting to replace the stock suspension, with a four inch lift and heavier leaf springs. I would go for a smaller lift and better springs for sure. Too many other projects though right now to start another.
Love the picture of junior standing next to the truck though.

haha thats my nephew/ tool grabber.
i went to a local trail (rattlesnake/constrictor) to test it out, the cruiser is definitly a monster when it comes to crawling to rocks but i quickly noticed a problem. my shackles become inverted really easy, ive never had a problem with this before, is there some thing i can do to prevent this? maybe make a bumbstop for my shackles?
