The 4.88's are great. I don't feal like I'm gonna blow up my transmission anymore lol. And the rear disc gives me a little extra stopping power.

 

That looks clean great work man and I understand that I'm gonna attempt to 4 link mine this summer with a 8.8 swap just waiting until its to hot to wheel then ill start tear down I really like that kit from iron rock I'm gonna look into that

 

Thanks. Ya the IRO kit is def worth it imho. It costs about the same as other kits that just come with shock mounts, spring perches, u bolts and plates.

 

How was the install on the IRO long arms? Looks super simple, I am contemplating ordering the kit this week. The three piece cross member looks pretty sweet also.

Diggin the build, doing a lot of what I want to do in the near future.

 

The install was fairly easy. You have to tap the hole in front of the stock crossmember holes which isn't that bad since the holes already there. All the P.I.T.A. bolts came out easy cause I had already done the rough country lift a couple years back and anti siezed everything. The onlything I would suggest if u don't already have it is a sye. I tried to go for a ride right after I was done and my drive shaft was at such an angle it bound up and wouldn't even move lol. I ended up going with the hack n tap. That was kind of a P.I.T.A. just because the tap felt like it was gonna break in the output shaft so I could only give it about a quarter turn at a time then back it out clean it out lube it up and repeat.

 

The stuff I used for the axle and the bottem of my doors and front bumper.

 

Took the molding off my doors and found this ugliness on the drivers door.

 

So I had to cut it all out.

 

Had an old fender laying around so I cut some patches out of it and welded em in.

 

Can't even tell.

 

Well at 8 inches of lift and a pretty flexy suspension the stock steering setup wasn't cutin it. So I ordered serious offroads 1 ton setup.

 

The stock setup removed.
