What size tires and gears will you be running?
I'm planning on running 35's and will be switching to 4.56 or 4.88's as money permits. I'm also planning on building a crossmember and long arms for it later on, just don't have the extra cash for it now. Besides, I do like to fab my own stuff when I can.

Great news, last weekend I replaced the head and don't seem to have any more milky motor oil. This weekend my buddy and I got the lift kit installed and tires are on. Here is a little sneak peak...



I also swapped the dana 35 for an 8.25, no lockers yet, but they are next on the list.

Looking good. You should go doorless. I need a set of late model white doors for my 90.

Haha! I am planning on running the summer with no front doors, at least until the popo tells me I need to have them on there, but I need to keep them to help battle the cold during the snow season. I need to find manual window/door lock doors for mine, but all I can find are power.

Lift and tires complete, overall I would say it went better than expected.
