Got this sami about 3 years ago now. $700 with a shot motor, but very clean. Rebuilt the motor and drove it for the last few years with just a set of shackles on it.
Bone Stock and with the shackles.

Decided I would go sprung over with rear springs up front. All the parts and the tear down

Rocky Road stage 1 over the top steering, unfortunately both ends are standard thread so making adjustments to try to center the steering wheel is just about impossible, pretty rad.

Looks great. Do you think you could have fit 33cx9.50s and have decent flex?
