update?

i second the motion for a 4bt and either a turbo or a super charger. you'll be cranking out plenty of ponies and will not need to practically rebuild your frame. like honestly dude your going to need 8 inch lift springs just to get 4 inchs of lift and it will ride like hell with that motor.

i say keep the axles though there better then what youve got right now

i have got the 2500 springs that i can actually fit where the stock coils are. to test it i put them in and the front lifted like 5 inches. but with the cummins it will be a bit raked which i dont mind cause this one will be pulling my new mudding jeep and im reinforcing the entire frame anyways i have a friend that is exceptional at it. its nice having good friends.

here is one:

here is another:

there is also a build on pirate:
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showt...herokee+diesel

I think the pirate build is the best one...
