I just picked up all three for about $60.

Well the springs, track bar and shocks are here, waiting on extended brake lines, long arms, have to come up with some more bump stop, put the suspension in, redo the gears in the axles, probably rebuild the transfer case again, sell my old suspension and fix whatever breaks between now and then.

Well I replaced the front yoke hoping to cure the vibes. Better but not gone took up some slop it had and hopefully with a new seal it'll last the 5 hour drive to Kentucky tomorrow. Going to Harlan to wheel at black mountain.

Jeep did fine at black mountain. I didn't have any breaks, but definitely in need of more lift and bigger tires to hang with that group. Also if anyone wants to buy a Dana 30 true trac let me know. If I can get a buyer I'll get a full case locker up front.

So I've been debating trimming or keeping stock flares. My friends all say trim, my flares are halfway falling off as is, I'm starting to lean toward trim. What do ya'll think? I'd only go to like the "mini flare" and I'd probably use the same Berliner I used on my bumpers on the lip and thinking about carrying it along the bottom body line to cover the rock rash. Thought? Opinions? Suggestions?

Bedline the lower but hold off on the trim till you can get some flares. DDing a rig with no flares is gonna suck, every time it rains you are going to be throwing 4 rooster tails and slinging mud and road crud all over your rig as well as everyone around you. I understand why people trim without flares on trail rigs, but on DDs it looks half *** and offers no protection. Just my two Lincolns
