Ok, short and sweet info update here. The suspension mods are custom rear lift coils with spacers on top. Pan hard has been dropped, sway bar end links extended. In the front it is downey coilovers with a 1.5" spacer on top of the stack. With the coilovers cranked up 2.5" of thread, I am sitting at about 7" of suspension lift. I dropped the front diff 1.375". Swapped all wheel studs to 20 x 1/2 to hold the heavy ass Toyo M/T's and 22x9.5 Helo's (170lbs per corner) on real tight and snug. There is a 1.25" BL. The tires are a 37x13.5R22 MT that measure closer to 38". That should do it for now. The only rubbing I have is the inner frame rail at full lock. I may be dropping the lower arms soon, changing the tie rod ends, changing the front sway end links, etc until I have the travel and ride in the front I want.
When I take her wheeling, which I do quite a bit, I toss on 16" black steel wheels and 35" thornbirds. I will get some pics of that setup posted as time allows. Sliders and a ton of armor are on the way.
Lastly, after cranking up the front end a little more last night, I have a decent amount of front end hop...any ideas? I am thinking that either my lower arms need to be dropped, my sway end links lengthened, or possibly flipping the tie rod ends over to lessen the angle. Any help here would be much appreciated. All in all, she sits 11" higher than a stocker, and front diff clearance after the drop is still over 17". Time to get that rear axle cut and turned! Thanks all.
