Thank you! No body lift. I did have to relocate all the crossmembers in the back. the furthest back had matching holes at the end of the frame, so I just had to drill the rivets out and move the crossmember back and bolt it to the existing holes. The spare tire carrier and front cross member also had to be relocated, but I made it all work with factory stuff. The fuel cell was built so that it clears everything the way it is...

The front will be linked first. I already have all the links built, the shock hoops done, etc. All the brackets are there as well, just havenŽt had the time to weld it all in yet. I need to do the front first to set the final ride height because of the steering, engine crossmember etc. That will dictate the rear height too. In the rear IŽm not sure If IŽll link it or just run long travel deaver springs. To be honest with you, IŽd have to look the spring rates up again, it has been so long since I ordered them. I think they are 200 oder 300. But IŽll look it up again to give you the correct numbers.
