Do you really need 8.5 " total lift...? Good plan all together though..

By the way, what the hell was attached to your hardtop when you bought it...? Looks like one hell of a roof rack...

Ya, the guy used to haul a 12' aluminum boat on top of it. I think it used to be his hunting rig. Had a tow bar on the front of it as well.

I actually have a 2" and 3" bl for it. So i will see witch one works better. But need a minimum of 2" to clear the front shock hoops, and the rear shock strut thingy.

I brought it home on the trailer, in the pics, when i joined the site in early oct. Get my transmission back tomorro, then i can put the motor trans and t case in. Then body goes on. Hopefully, i will have the body on this weekend. Then prep body and paint it.
