Awesome! Take lots of pics. Did you get the rear kit and Creeper gussets as well? If not I'd order those gussets up while your welding on that axle.
I plan on doing mine the first weekend in June.

Ya, I got the knuckle ball gussets. No rear kit - the chebbies work fine for now. I got some DOM tubing (not from Trail-Gear) to make a traction bar out back <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Started welding some stuff on the housing before it got dark. My welds aren't perfect but they should be fine:

Congrats man.

Be prepared to be un-prepared for how hi the front will be. I did my SAS and was like "holy cow!!!" 'Course, you already had a lift so maybe I'm talkin' out of turn.

Take your time!!!


If Mad Max had a 4runner...
