No brake lines and no shocks yet. I can't wait to hit the trail though. It was in my garage with no suspension for about a month.

That looks siiiick! Nice call on the T100 rear axle. I'd do it myself but mine's all locked and trussed and geared and I didn't wanna re-do all that. Sweet rig! Blazeland FTW, every time!

Yeah, it was an easy decision for me because the Coil Link suspension rode like ˟˟˟˟ and I already had a T100 3rd with ARB and 4.56 in it that I pulled out of my Tacoma before I sold it

Should be wider, but not wide enough to match an LT front

4bangercraige, what rims width and back-spacing are you running? Looks like 10" with 3.75 back-spacing. If so I will be filming your yota on the Squaw trip a lot. I am sure there are lots of members on YT eager to watch some Blaze-Land action in the real world.

Do you know how much travel the chevy springs gave you? I might want to try doing a spring under setup.
