Wow, five hours! Really shows what a spare set of hand can accomplish. I am solo with my mods, and I am still very old school when it comes to tools; I do not use impacts of any kind.
How noticeably improved is the ride with the coil-overs, compared to the T-bars (1-10)? Just in-case I go back to long travel, I my do coil-overs. I never got the chance to use my Blazeland land kit after the install.

Off road is so cush nothing I have ridden in locally has compared. I would give this a 8-9 because of course nothing is perfect. this setup is nice because I love to blast down crappy roads

Don't forget to replace the cross member with some sort of square tube or round tube to get that support strength back.
You are correct I did relocate to re do my suspension in the future... But mainly to gain that extra clearance underneath. The gas tank was the only thing that seemed to get hung up on the trails so I decided to move it.

Thanks. Your tank is tucked up there pretty good with that body lift.
I've been thinking about rear links quite a bit lately, mostly that I'm going to have to build some custom pieces. Keeping the brackets in the same place and making new stock length arms with DOM and Jonny joints to allow more movement. Looking at your rear suspension flexing in those pictures it looks like your rig does better than mine for some reason. I'm guessing my shocks are too short?Are your stock mounts holding up OK? I've heard they can get ripped off, but I've never seen it.

I think when I decide to do mine I am going to eliminate the stock arm mounts and go with a lower profile mount that is more heavy duty as well.
