Yea, I'm planning on bringing them back further but I didn't want to mess with the exhaust yet. School is about to start kicking my ass so Ill try to get it done before Moab in March

Looks good. You still using the stock steering box in its original location? If so, did you have to move the panhard frame mount to get the 2" out of the front?
Steering box is in stock location. Ill snap some more pics this afternoon. I BARELY got by with the 2" front stretch, the tie rod is actually directly underneath the waggy pitman arm and stops at full bump about 3/4 inch away.

I still need to connect the tube flare to the CO hoop, make inner fender wells, re-do the front upper links and do a passenger side bumpstop on the front, but everything else is about finished up.

Very nice :smokin: Those tube fenders are sweet! Good size on the rear fender opening without being a full comp cut, helps keep the po-po off your back.

actually getting 13.5 out of them because they have a 1/2 inch bumpstop on the shaft to prevent over-compressing it. I set the bumpstops on the axle so about 1" of shaft is showing at full flex bump (so I am actually using 12.5" of shock). I can not use any more, however, because the front driveshaft is very close to bottoming the cv out anyway.

let me know what you want pics of and Ill snap some...those are about all I have right now. What you see for an 'inner fender' in the pic is all stock fender. I cut everything off that wasnt 'vertical'. I need to finish filling it in with something and brace the coilover hoops to the tube fender

Only problem now is,it looks like you can fit some bigger meats.
Next step is prolly 60s and either 39 or 42 iroks, but thatll be down the road seeing as my funds are currently very low
