How much uptravel you expecting to get Bill? Hard to tell from the pics how those arms are going to swing vertically.

Minimal uptravel at this height. Though I don't think I'll be losing any. Will see what happens on the RTI. Eventual plan is for a couple more inches of lift...just waiting on parts. Bill

Finished up last night... test drove today. Had a lot of body roll before when I switched lanes... that's gone now. Much firmer. Drives awesome. Great incentive to get started on the rear now.
No clearance issue that I have found yet. Still have to disconnect and flex it up somewhere to check it out.

Guess the ramp from APJs is still at fox mountain...or somewhere! Will find someplace, or a forklift at some point! Shocks will no doubt be my limiter for now.

Figured I'd dig this thread back up.
HP30 is going in the the front now... 8.25 in the back. Was cheap enough to make the small gains worthwhile. Got ujoints to replace my CV shafts, and a high pinion which is always a good thing.
The 8.25 has better aftermarket support than the D44a and at least as strong. My brakes swap right over... and I don't need a carrier for my eventual gear swap.
Rear frame brackets got burnt in last night, upper tube mount on the axle as well.

you are going to have to set up a time for everyone to take a ride - charge $5 and make some cash back
