So got it back together today,still need a rear panhard kit since i'm running 3 link front and rear.Must say i have more steering than i know what to do with.Even without the panhard the over/under gears are amazing Put some hi clearance links to help out with the angled shocks for that lower center.

Looks good to me! I got my wheel spacers on. And after i drove it i noticed it wasnt running quite right. Picked it up, and saw the front axel shuddering with acceleration. Also the spacers were so hot to the touch i almost burnt my fingers. Something is binding i think, and it feels like some of the teeth in the diff gears might be broke off. Gonna have to pull it all apart tomorrow or monday...

For the most part it bolts right up The lower links can't go back in the same place so i moved them to the outside of the frame,next the drive shaft is a big problem to avoid this i went with a 3 link setup moving the 3rd link forward a bit gave me great pinion angle without the bind.With a 3 link you need a panhard for the rear as well.I made some custom mounts to tilt the shocks forward (rear) and back (front) to give me a lower center since i'm running 100mm king shocks
