The intent here was to keep this thing cheap and road legal, emphasis on the road legal.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, the way things go a 14 bolt rear just fell into my lap. I'm now very tempted to seek out a 60 front and run tons under this thing. Doubt the inspection man would like that very much here in the fine Commonwealth of Virginia.   :greengrin:

I'm resisting the temptation to go with the tons, I'll likely never need them and if I have to trailer it 2 or 3 hours away to get to something big enough to make it fun I doubt I'll actually use it much.

One thing I really think I might go ahead and upgrade is the suspension, the more I think of it the less and less I think the OME springs will keep me happy. I really think I would be much happier with an All-Pro or Marlin lift.

From member here who have them which height should I be looking at, 4, 5, or 6 inch? I've always like low in rigs and think I should go with the 4" kit and trim to fit whichever tires I decide on, likely 35's the first time around...advice?
