034x4 Solid Axle Swap Thread

The front is staying leafs, it keeps the front really stable on and off the trail (coils i'd need a sway-bar of some sort). The one-link will only be on the rear. I'll use stock zj rear coils and depending on how much balance of articulation I have front to rear i'll get stiff/soft shocks accordingly.
Whats next?
In 1-2 months, I'm repainting the whole thing (minus the bed obviously). I'm going to paint it ________ because it's an obnoxious color and I like obnoxious (everyone from the GA meet can comment on my orange shoes lol).
4-link front (keep one link rear)
Rockwells.
Coilovers.
302 stroker.
Atlas II t-case.
49" Iroks. Because I can.

Got the shock mount on, shocks on, threw the bed back on and drove it. Hell does it drive alot better now. Doesn't bottom out on compression either, I though it might still running the leafs. When I link it I'll put the shocks on the bottom of the sway bar mounts but I'd have to make a spacer of sorts to keep the shock body from hitting the mount.
Welding.
High lift maxed out and tires still on the ground.
Tight fit, but I don't have to cut.
Nothing special, just showing shock movement.
This is for whoever said I didn't have long enough brake lines....
Bling.
Bird's eye.

Not working on the one-link yet. I need some money to buy a 1.25" FK joint with misalignment spacers is ~95$. Then I gotta buy more metal. And coil buckets.
I'll probably wait until I have a fuel cell, I don't really want to mount a stock tank in the bed, seeing as how the bedside supports keep ripping the floor apart.

i think a grader ball setup would be stronger and last longer
