Hell no!!!!That thing is awesome.It looks real good.Take it out,and if it seems to top heavy for you,then maybe go down a bit,or work on making it a bit wider.

I know my shackle angle & length is a little crazy. I built them with johnny joints I'm planning on fixing that soon ran out of time it will also lower it in front about 1 inch. The front is marlin springs & front crossmember. The back is still four link with johnnys also, its got 7" Cherokee spring for the lift. I also have 3" spacers on the front & 1" on back.

I haven't driven it very much. I blew the head gasket a few days after it was lifted. The only thing i did notice was the 4" marlins were a little on the soft side under  braking. But nothing to complane about. I did drive the front on the top of an old Monty Carlo & didn't pull the tire off the ground. :turtle:       I will get some pictures of those johnnyjoints shortly     :crossed:

Looks good I think it will kick ass, have the springs settled at all yet, I'd wait a few months and see how much they sag if they haven't yet.  :beerchug:

I'm going too keep the coils. I just need to design a system that will let the spring drop without falling out or limiting my flex. Once i get it going again i figure something out.

IM thinking of the same thing i think i ahve an idea i jsut needa build it! ILikeToToyota has a system built for his coils so they can leave the truck 10 inches or so and not fall out! if you pm him or talk to him ask him for some pics of it its a fairly simple design! he had jeep coils on his toy as well!
