All thats left is to just add the Spohn Panhard, uppers and lowers. I can finally close this chapter and start working on getting the rollpan and front bumper painted.
How does it ride, especially when hitting bumps, pot holes and dips?

Feeling bumps more than before. Stocks need to be replaced tho. More sway and roll, but not in a "dangerous" manner. Suspension has settled, hate to do it but need to raise font one inch to match the rear ar 33.5"20180907_115307.jpg 20180918_165928.jpg 20180910_123527.jpg 20180918_170056.jpg
