Ordering some 4.5" rough country coil springs and Swaybar links and fixed lower control arms. Probably gonna do the Chevy lowering shackles for the rear to raise it up level with front. Also looking at rough country's performance series 2.2 shocks for the rear. Any input?

Got my low pressure switch connector in yesterday. Now the a/c will run without needing a paperclip permanently stuck in the switch!

Once I get this rust cleaned off I'm planning on painting the coils. I read a thread on here somewhere about it.

I have the Rough Country 2.2 shocks on mine along with their 3" series II lift. They rebound very quick, kind of hard on the road, but a good ride.

Thanks for the response, I'm not yet sure if I wanna spend the money on them or just get some other hydros like I have up front.

The sway bar links will probably be for sale soon, because I'm planning on getting some jks quick disconnects. So if there is any interest let me know.

Looks like I might need to invest into a new exhaust, or atleast a new muffler, in the near future.

Just an idea for the rubbing you mentioned in a post a while back, look for a set of WJ Lower control arms. They have a bend in them that allows for more clearance. Slight modding and they work great!

Hope these shackles work out for ya!

Thanks man! I actually was going to do that, but I got wheels with less back spacing, and my tires are rubbing on the flares and fenders. I don't want to trim too much. I already trimmed a little on the fender. I'll be going to longarms soon! Yes I'm ready to get those shackles. I'll send the payment today.
