3 link parts upper and lower mounts for frame and axle. 1 ton y link steering rod ends. Small trail-gear diff armor and bumpstops. Frame panhard mount. Still waiting on panhard mount for axle. Still deciding if I wanna go poly joints or 1 1/4 rod ends.

After much thought I have ditched the solid axle as I never have time to wheel with a new baby, but I did pick up a 4 inch procomp lift for cheap. Going to keep the ifs and hopefully do some wheeling soon.

I'd love to hear what the turbo has been doing for you... looks like you are doubling down, so is it working out?

Getting closer to testing. Im waiting for an arduino microcontroller to convert the 0-5v signal from the tps sensor into a pmw signal to control the motor speed.

Used blazeland kit. I have shocks, brake lines, old man emu torsion bars, and the cv axles should be here tomorrow. I'm stoked to have this blazeland setup again. This will be my third kit. Im hoping to get ahold of blazen8 to see if he still does shock hoops so i can mount either a bypass shock or a coil assist setup. Heres a pic. It came with extra upper extension brackets and 2 sets of tie rod sleeves, one for combo with bracket lift and one for regular setup.

Got the passenger side on, just need to install the cv axle and hub. Will do the driver side next weekend. Im hoping the old man emu torsions will hold up the truck without sagging.

Does this setup come with a built in ball joint spacer lift?

I have been eyeing this setup for a while, but I wasn't sure if I wanted that wide stance. In SoCal, with my luck, I bet I would get pulled over and ticketed because my tires would be sticking out.

Hopefully the steering geometry stays in adjustable range
Looking forward to the final product

Answering on his behalf … Not really a built in spacer as such, but a beefy UCA extension that receives the upper ball joint and keeps the control arms both parallel like stock. I run this Blazeland kit with a modified procomp kit, run my control arms almost flat, love it not for jumping but for crawling ... it gives me so much articulation I rarely need 4wd !
It's wicked though when you hit something fast unexpectedly and it just soaks it up without touching the bumpstops.
