First question: Can someone tell me how to embed youtube videos on here? Using the Youtube embed link doesn't do anything and just hyperlinking won't auto embed into the thread.

@Mr Pink: Thanks. That's what I tried but it just left it in plain code. I'll keep trying
@Jeepology: Thanks for that! I should have some more pics of the front end and some more beefing up that I've been doing soon! Always watching your build and following the IG!

Quick update: I've driven about 1000 miles since the upgrades. The suspension works well on road and the minimal offroad it has seen thus far. Because I am still not sold on the current 4.10 vs 4.88's I had planned to install, I have yet to regear and install the front DS so I am still stuck in 2wd. My major issue with this now is I have ridiculous road wander. It does not appear to be bumpsteer as road changes, bridge on/off drops, major dips in the road, etc do not seem to be forcing the steering to wander. The wander I am getting is on all types of roads from old and rutted to brand new asphalt. The front axle was set at ~7.25 degrees caster, so I don't believe that is my problem either. I had someone cycle the steering while sitting steer and I can see radial play in the output shaft at the steering box. While driving and holding the steering wheel perfectly still, the tires do wander left to right enough to switch lanes unannounced.
So, my real question now is: will a steering box rebuild eliminate this play? The major rebuild kits only appear to replace most of the seals, one needle bearing, and possibly a few more bearings inside that I don't see in the picture. For anyone with more knowledge on the subject than I, is the rebuild all I need to tighten up the box, or are larger pieces in the box toast? Hydro assist is in the immediate future in place of a stabilizer so I plan on tapping the box during a rebuild if that is the direction needed.
