Received my last few parts from Marlin today. Looks like all this stuff will be put on the middle of next week.

I spent the past weekend, grinding down all the surfaces AND I finally got that pesky fitting off the power steering box. All it took was a GOOD set of flare end wrenches, 3-foot cheater pipe and 4-days of PB Blaster.

Couple of things I'm tracking down between now and then include:

I purchased the 12" Bilsteins and saw on Tatums build thread he ended up swithcing out to the 14" length...posted on Marlin to see which will work.
I have a question concerning mounting the "regular" shock hoops. The mounting points aren't flush with the frame as the shock bracket comes in contact with the wheel well.

Not flush w/ frame

Shock bracket in contact with wheel well
