Haha, some people tell me they hear it way before they see it... We have to meet up one of these days.... There are a lot of sweet yotas in SC, I dont even know what your rig looks like. Sorry about the ARB, I just couldnt part with it. Hopefully this project will be done sooner than later...
Here's a teaser. Very nervous about torching through the frame. Attempting this in my spare time, so Im sure it will be on jack stands for a bit

:UPDATE:
Well... Ive been working non-stop for the last week, I even called sick one day Got a lot done but still a lot more to do....
I unload trailers in the morning for UPS and see first hand how packages get treated. I decided to drive 3 hours to Fresno and pick the kit up myself.







I put the frame tubes in crooked the first time So I drilled them out and spend some more time to make sure the were straight as I could get them.









I think my shackle angle came out alright. In this pic the rear is sitting a lot lower than the front. When sitting level shackle angle looks pretty good.

I could not bring myself to sell the ARB. So after a lot of thought and measuring I started cutting.






I dont think I will have to move my steering box but will most likely need a shorter or straight pitman arm.
I honestly did not think it was going to be this high! I have 2" coils in the rear currently and it looks like the rear is stock. I will start gathering parts to do a rear leaf swap, not sure right now what to go with...

Ya 3" TG kit. I sold the 33's to fund the swap I wanna do the rear leafs... I think Im leaning on installing 63" chevys, maybe. Then I hope to purchase new tires, ahhhh $$$$! Just gotta keep workin'...
I've been leaving it sit flexed like this for a couple hours a side in hopes to help the springs settle quicker. It is really tall.
