I ditched the IFS and went SFA.
It is an oru bracket kit with ord crossover steering. 2.5 inch superlift springs, dana 44 and the same 37s.
Yes it is pretty much the exact same setup at drew but I have less than a grand into this with everything.

Lucky *******! Mine will be SAS eventually, probably the same set-up. Looks good, keep us updated if you change anything as far as the kit goes.

looks sweet. i have been wanting to do this to mine but it is 2wd and i think the cross member will be in the way. could you possibly post pics of your cross member and diff. i think on 4wd the cross member is shifted forward to give room for the diff.

Right now the plans are to take this leaf packs are make some hybrids out of em and try to get the front about 1.5-2 inches higher and get the ride a little stiffer.

I can try and take some for you but if you look at drews thread he has some pictures that might be what your looking for. But you could always cut the crossmemeber out and fab one up.

awesome,,hows the ride?

Pretty ****** right now. When I first got it done it was very last minute that I finished and then had to drive 80 miles that night up to college. The exhaust was still open manifold at that point and ended up melting the passenger shackles and spring bushings so it rides decent but not where i'd like it to be. Plus I still haven't put my shocks on.

Nice work man, looks great!

Now get some pics of that beast on some trails!

4 wheel drive needs to happen first. But hopefully it will be by the 3rd week of october for a wheeling trip.

thanks for the link. found out that the cross member is different along with the ENTIRE front frame. i guess i could make a new support and mount it closer to the front but then i would have to hack my frame, which would involve pulling the motor and front clip. this is my DD so i really can't have it down for that long. might take a closer look later and try to pack it all in two days. thanks for the help though, appreciate it
