i would just get some steelies, aluminum is going to be hard to paint and you also have a whole lot easier chance on bending them on the trail.

are you free saturday? if so you should come on this run and meet everyone and have a blast

Little Moab, its got a little of everything mild to wild. Its a good place to test out your rig. We're meeting at 10:30 at the crossroads in Saratoga Springs. You should try to make it out.

He said axle... TTB is more of a suspension than an axle... that's my argument anyway.

I used to own one of these... it was sick! 90 Bronco II, had a sweet D35 front! And yes, I broke it. I even lifted it and put 32's on it! I'm going to find a pic of it.. i'll be back.... you won't be disappointed.

you will need some coil compressors, jack stands and hand tools. A air compressor will make it like 10 times faster but not needed. you can go to the parts store and rent the compressors for the coils or just buy some.... should start hitting all of the bolts with bp blaster a couple of days before. I got pretty good at it on my last jeep i can do it in about 30 min start to finish... good luck.
