Really diging your rig. The front bumper with the spring hangers integrated into it is brilliant as it moves the axle forward and lowers the ride height by a couple of inches. I might have to redo mine after seeing yours.  :beerchug: Great job and keep those updates coming!

I hate short leaf springs so I had WFO build me a set of extended spring hangers.  These are similar to the BTF stretch kit but use the original bumper which I like better.  Should have a 50-51" spring in the back without having to hack the corners out.

Started swapping out the rear spring hangers, looks like I'm picking up 4" of spring length  :_oops:

Starting to consider a "mild" comp cut, it would get my WB to 108" roughly, what do you guys think?  :smokin:

Spent some time working on the cruiser today..  Got the new spring hangers tacked in place and back on the ground.  Also thinking about moving the rear axle back another 4".  This would put my WB at 108.5" which I believe is uncommon for an FJ40.  Most all the rigs I find are roughly 102-103"..  I'm going to Deaver Springs in the morning to get the leafs dialed in and then get back to the drivetrain.  Here are a few pics of the progress.

The Atlas finally showed up so I'm starting to put everything together.  Got the adapter installed with new speed sensor, going to build my own motor mounts and trans crossmember/skidplate.  Hoping to have the drivetrain installed by next week.
