Ah nice. Heck yeah. Fire up the chainsaw and fab it up.

Yes that's what I'm realizing. LOL. Ah I need new shocks anyway. That will give me a reason to get them. LOL.

Yea wat I recommend is the 3inch lift springs with the 2inch pucks in the front you can get just the springs for the from on eBay them get the 3 inch longer shocks from where ever you want for the front alone that should handle it

Still think you're killing your approach angle.....if its got to be that big why not put some storage in it......recovery gear, air etc. Id say water tank bit it's going to be plenty heavy.

I love everything right up until that front bumper. It seems WAY to bulky and sticks out way to far, it detracts from all your other amazing fabrication on this project Imho
