You're kinda screwed since the obs 4x4s have a much wider front track width than the new bodies. You're almost better off doing a 2wd hub or converting it to the newer 6 lug pattern if you wanna bag it.

WOW sorry im so late on this... Nice work man.. good to see another one of us.. yea with all the free stuff how could you NOT do it!!!

As for your time just so everyone knows a local shop should do your free travel and your brackets welding for between $150-$300 in labor.. so if you cant weld but dont mind running your own switches and line.. there is a cheap option.

Yea a longer panhard bar will do wonders for riding with it mashed out. An adjustable heim end bar is even better because if you do go lower you can make it even longer.. but like he said shift WILL happen.

You can do what i did and get rid of your uppers and run just your stock lowers (on a kit) and do a triangle from the rear.. but its REALLY not necessary and imo too much work to get the 1/2 you need to get frame..

Now if you decide to c notch it... ($250 installed at most shops) then doing a reverse triangle makes alot more sense because youll need it for the 4 inches....

ON the other hand you might run into all kindsa shit before 4 more inches is even a thought.

Has anyone built an adjustable rear track bar for these things? I'm thinking about buying some tubing and building one myself, rear is off with my 5" drop and I'm sure it will get worse with 8" or whatever the hell you get with bags.
