looks good Ive always liked that color... seems like you wheel it (its what their for after all) Id suggest some lock rights pretty soon they make a ton of difference and there is nothing worse that gettin hung with one wheel in the air helpless!!! KEEP IT UP!!! check out my build (I did LR's not too long ago)

I only got the coils and shocks from that set. For the leaf springs I did a bastard pack from an s-10 blazer in a local pick and pull for $45.

I'm still up in the air about what I want to do about that. Stuff around here isn't crazy enough to put it at the top of the list but it's still being researched.

It is a different company so it could be a bit more or less. I've heard bad things about add a leafs so I stayed away from them. Yes the tires are 31x10.5.

Look at the transfer case shifter.
If you have 4hi 2hi N and 4L you have the NP231 (Selec-Trac).
NP242's have 4wd full time (Command-Trac)
