woke up yesterday and finished up most of the front lift install, spindles, brake rotors/calipers, moved brake and abs lines. need to find coil-overs and axles
took a break to go have some breakfast with the kiddo.
got back to it.... installed the transfer case, front driveshaft, sway bar. knocked the rear shocks and sway bar links off, dropped the springs out and put the new ones in. set it back down and theres like 12-13" of fender gap on the drag radials
(32" tire) theres some "extra" brackets for the rear SUV kit, havent really been able to find instructions, going to look around some more today for some or just continue winging it. i know theres shock extension brackets (to use the air ride shocks) but i will prob just grab shocks the length needed to not use them. the track bar bracket/s i do need to put on to get it flatter. i think there is brackets to relocate the rear control arms - tire is sitting almost perfect in the wheel well atm - not sure if the brackets just correct the axle angle (which i can do with adjustable arms) or if they give a better angle to the frame. if they arent really needed im not going to bother using them.

rear shocks, i kinda want something adjustable since the rear seems to be one extreme or the other (bouncy or solid) on these if its not "right" - cheapest option seems to be the rough country vertex shocks but even they are kinda expensive - trying to do this cheap. not sure if i should bother with trying out a fox monotube or something first. cause if it sucks buying another set would have just paid for adjustables. next cheapest adjustable option is more than 2x the price
the front same thing, trying to be cheap here. the RC vertexs look nice on paper but people seem to love them or have horrible experience with them and cant get them to ride worth a shit. but dont know if people are cranking the spring down to get the most lift out of them leaving no range in them

Bilstein 7100s aren't adjustable on the fly but they have user changeable valving and are only $200 each and that's with reservoirs.
This thing looks huge already jeez.
