Getting there, not finished but Panda bear and stripes have been initiated. I can't look at it in my driveway without laughing and shaking my head.

Swapped the rear springs out for 5 leaf 63" Chebbies SUA a while back, I will add details and pics of the swap later. 14" travel 51002 in the rear and 12 inchers in the front, with extended brake lines. Haven't flexed it out yet.

Can you comment on the spring swap please. I'm thinking of doing the same thing (63" chevies SUA). Please comment about ride quality, handling, and opine whether or not would do it again.

Thank you

Wish I could, only put about 200 yards on it so far. So far so good but I think the valving on my Bilstein 5125s might be a little light.

I can report back later. I think I've only put about 2,000 miles total on the thing in the last 5 years. It's more a driveway ornament.

Thanks Kline, I'll get some good hi res pics when it's all done.

Totally rad man. Can't wait to see it in person.

Thanks Clint, see how low-pro my rack is? Think I should be ok especially with my low ride height?

 

[Dirtgypsy]

Rack looks good. So does the one on your truck. Wheel/ tire offset, sliders, front bumper all look good too and will be well used. Your rear qtr panels and rear bumper are going to be toast. It will give you a good excuse to break out the sawzall when you get back.

Already in progress, here's a pic from before I swapped wheels.

just a quick update. did the Rubicon with TLCA, rig did amazing. Ended up scrapping my ez locker for a welded rear the night before we left. 63" Chevies and 14" travel Bilsteins in the rear was a great setup, I had the smallest tires of my group but the added flex helped me stay low and retain traction over tough obstacles.

added a stereo, 4 6x9s powered by a 400w marine grade amp (two are in a ammo box up front that I can put up on my roof rack while camping) then a single 10" sub and 200W amp, then a JVC bluetooth head unit with no CD player that I painted pink so no one would steal it as my full doors are never on.

There's a ton of s*** I've done, shock hoops in the front and 12" Bilstein 5100s, I extended the brake lines and dif breathers fornt and rear etc. blah blah here's some pics.
