Hey did you make those shock mounts (the upper cross bar and lower axle mounts ? or they prefabed. If you did make them can you give me some specs (like the lenght of the tubing, wall thickness and what bolts that were used) and what did you use for bump stops? thanks, your info on this is greatly appreciated!

I would have preferred more shackle angle but when your running 37's, the axle needs to be as far forward as possible, with time and some wheeling it should improve. As far as riding like a Caddy.......I wish, it's a far cry from stock that's for sure. I built this to wheel and as a DD, so now I have the best of both worlds!! IMHO

Update.....(Running ARB's off of CO2 tank) finally got the ARB's plumbed. Instead of using an air compressor I decided to use my CO2 bottle, less electrical, no elec switchs or solenoids. I opted to use the Non-electric switches (I got mine from gulfcoastrovers.com) I also couldn't find a decent spot to locate the switches so I made a mount and put them under the drivers seat. If ever there is a problem pull (4) 14mm bolts and the seat is out, easy access to the lines and switches.
Gotta Thank Steve @ powertank.com. He was a great help, I told him what I wanted, he put it together and even drew up a diagram to help with installation. (bad pic)
80 psi barrel reg and pressure gauge (adjustable more like 94psi)
Made bracket extra long incase I decide to add other swithes (rock lights, NOS switch, rocket launcher switch, ejection seat switch)
The seat installed
Hopefully this info will help someone down the road, I had trouble finding write-ups on this type of installation. I'll post up some flex pics as soon as I figure out my front drive shaft issue.

Finally getting with the program....New awesome Marlin Rear Bumper (worth the wait 6 months)
New exhaust (Exhaust Pros in wichita) excellent job. Abit too loud though
Rock Sliders thanks to 85ondubs for his skills!!
Got bored...had these laying around from an old 80's truck

For the rear, lose the overload or cut it down to a block, put in a long AAL and lose the block, it will give you some lift and let you flex more than the overload will whole.
What are you running for a shackle in the back? You could possibly put a longer shackle in if you needed more height after that.
You are going to have to do something about that front shackle angle, that is horrible. Maybe you can make some sort of a new shackle hanger farther forwards or something. Otherwise, sell those TG springs, build yourself some rears up front out of 51" yota rears and that should give you enough length to get your shackle right and keep the axle forwards.
I agree that you may need some trimming, it isn't the regular driving that will be a problem it will be when you are flexed...otherwise perhaps some bumpstoppage is in order.
