Depends on your leaves condition. AAL if its a full length leaf work better then a short AAL If your gonna be flexing alot shackles will wear the springs quicker.
If the springs aren't sagged go AAL

It really hasn't changed much. Haven't had time or money to do much. I made one offroad trip last year and not sure about this year.
Did add an AEM cold air kit

Heres a few from my trip

I believe he said earlier that he just painted all of the interior pieces first, then came back with some yellow paint and an artist brush and flung the paint at it. lol

Thanks guys
I drilled holes in the axe. I drilled the axe first and put it in the place where I wanted it. Marked the side panel and then removed it. Used long blots and fender washers so the would pull through the panel. Used wing nuts on the bolts to hold it in place. Lowes has great hardware.

I have 2 extinguishers. One in the rear cargo area and 1 next to my seat.
