no body lift, just mounted the hoops on the lower part of the frame. but they come real close to the inner fender. i think if i just get 12 inch shocks for the front it will be ok.
i live in aumsville. 9 miles east of salem on hwy 22. and i work in mill city.
i sent my rear shocks back to trail gear to exchange for some 12".

Looks good...I kept wondering when there were going to be rear brake lines and then in the final pic.
Only thing you really still need is diff armor f/r and lose those hex head diff plugs that are prone to round off the corners.

Looks good.
Be sure to get your caster checked up front it could make you front drive shaft angle much better. I was able to remove 4* to get back to factory spec and reduce the angle on my lower U joint. What length of shocks do you have in the rear?

I am still dealing with the same problem, I know I need to get my caster checked, and do a second rebuild on my knuckles. I have been reading some older posts here on yotatech, and 4Crawler seems to be pretty knowledgeable about this subject.
