There's little sense in loosing all that droop you just gained by using a bumpstop 2" larger

yeah longer shocks would be an easy fix for the droop, but then the only problem is the CV's will bind up, even with the 1" diff drop 
I installed the diff drop, I tried locking in the hubs and spinning the hub... no beuno... she seizes up... so I installed those taller bumpstops, and now there's no binding
so you see, it would have to be longer shocks AND some custom CV's, possible the ol Porche-inner hybrids, but that's some $$$$ there...
I went and picked up my new t-bar bolts and nuts today
a whole $18.81 !
got them thrown on, and right now just completely relaxed with the truck back on all 4 wheels again, cause it's a lot easier to work under the hood with the trucks a little lower to the ground, lol
OH, and also, another merical for the day!
also, she's injected now!
it's so close... I can almost hear the motor running already... IT WILL FIRE UP THIS SATURDAY!!! My father's coming over, cause he wants to hear it fire up for the first time and purr

Keep in keeping on.

Hey Bleeder-Dude, AWESOME JOB!!! My wife is quite annoyed that I have spent the last 3 days pouring over the saga that is your rebuild, but like every good drama, I can't lay it down! You're ideas are awesome! While I totally get the crawler/mudder truck builds, there must be a place for us guys that love our Toys to death, and use them as they were originally intended, as a daily driver. Everything looks great and a wonderful inspiration as I will probably be in your shoes in about 2 years.
