I Know I have a ton of lift on the truck, but its about 10" total.  With the 18" wide tires, it doesnt seem to have two high of a COG.  My plan is once I wear out the 39's to go to 37's.  I do not want to go any smaller due to the 5:71's.  I still have the stock push/pull steering, and cannot really afford to switch it out now, well I can, but the accountant (my wife) will not let me.  So here starts my questions again...

1.  If I cut the steering and shorten (the arm closest to the radiator that the tire is currently rubbing on) it to get the steering back centered, do I need to do the z link.  I do not see how this will work, but again, I am new to yotas.

2.  With the current set up, is it ok to go with the 1.5" spacers?

3.  How badly is the shackles being slightly forward going to hurt my performance?  It will only be used as a putt around town/mud truck/beach truck.

That is cool about the taillights, I do not have the rear ones plugged up, so the fronts do not work at all.


ps...pics will come soon, i just got it saturday and have been working on it since.
