Default 87 Waggy build from stock.

Well I think I am about ready to start the build. Thinking maybe it will take more time than money as I have 4 kids, wife, and on a tight budget with lots of projects around the house in the works. Any input will be gladly accepted and considered. I am considering a Zone Offroad 4.5" AAL kit with shocks and Mickey Thompson 31x10.50/r15 Baja Claws. Is there anything else I really need to do while tore down. I think I will go back later and build my own spring pack for the rear. Thanks and will start posting pics when I start.

Got the fender flares taken off today. Getting ready for the lift. Not quite sure how to finish out the fender wells so think I will wait a bit and do a little more research.

Thanks, I really did not know what I was getting when I bought it. Glad I made the purchase now.
