I would rebuild the front axle once you figure out what gears you are going to run. If you are not running a locker in the front, you will probably be okay without going to Longfields with the type of wheeling you are talking about, but since you have the cash and desire to do it right I would run Longs and lock the front and rear.

Hey I noticed your driveshaft angle is currently way off, obviously your still building the rig. Are you planning on going with a double cardan up top, or changing your pinion angle? Just cerious.

And Dee951 have you considered engine swaps outside of 4cyl? 5vz-fe? Tundra V8, lexus V8, turbo diesel? Lots motors that are way cooler then a 4cyl. You have the $$ I would at least consider it. It would at least be cool to be able tow something also. Im sure their are many out there who are going to pipe up about how they can tow lots with their supercharged 4cyl but their simply lying to them selves.

ThatGuy1295, I haven't adjusted my rear pinion angle yet - waiting to have the bed weight on there before I shim it up.
