Well Steve-O, I wish I could say good things about the shocks but about an hour into the trip I ripped the lower shock tab off one side and busted the stainless resovoir line on the other side. We welded the shock tab back on at camp. I tested for clearance before I left but the big dirt pile proved to be a bit different than those massive boulders up there. Other than that, they seemed great even with one spitting oil everywhere. Looks like I will need to do some tweeking with their location. My front suspension and steering are no longer suitable for my wheelbase or tires so I will post up a build thread when I get all my parts in.
Just got to figure out how to get them in there and what they'll be mounted too.

For now I am just adding a new trackbar and bracket relocated further up on frame to avoid the diff cover smashing into the bolt that holds the trackbar. That has been a long time coming. I am going to cut off the radius brackets on my front lower links and add a single new DOM upper for a three link and push the axle maybe another inch foward if possible with stock steering gear position. Gonna try to do a hydro assist on the cheap but who knows, this whole plan could change in 15 minutes. Thats usually how stuff goes. I would like full hydro but I have not even looking into pricing and I would imagine that it aint cheap.

Well I have not done much of the above mods although I do have a bunch of the parts now. I did add a set of crager soft 8s and ruffstuff beadlocks. They all four slowly leak air over time but hopefully I will not be sitting on the trail anymore trying to reset a bead in the rain. I also cleaned up my rear wheel well opening.
