Your right Landraider about the overdrive. It would be nice to have an extra gear. At 65 MPH I'm at 2700 RPM. But then again this is my toy not my daily driver and I built it for playing in the rocks.
I used a high pinion Dana 44 from a 78 Ford F-150. The coils are strapped into the upper and lower buckets with metal straps. It's a stock Ford setup. I have Rancho RS5000 shocks and they have over 23 inches of travel so they never reach the end of their travel.
