No, the main trail is what's in the background of all of your pictures, you are in the woods taking the bypasses.

stiffeners? have you taken your doors off?
Yep. It was fine and I didnt have any issues till I took it to my friends woods and tried a few obstacles. After that they didnt want to shut right so I shimmed them and then they started to crack :soapbox:
So plans are as follows....
WJ uppers for a temporary uppercontrol arm fix. (My stock ones are dead.. I am not changing the bushings in them.)
New lower control arm bushings. (My caster was perfect so why change my setup now?)
Throw my skids back on.
Stiffen it the weekend after next. Then wheel it.
Long term plans
Isuzu 12 bolt.
Slight rear stretch
Install my midarms.
Flat belly.
I Am really happy with how its working. It is back to DD status as my f350s Oil pan and frame are getting thin in several other spots so I am putting it in storage over the winter, then doing a frame swap and ZF swap.

Any particular reason you're going that route? Feel like I remember you talking about it at some point but I forget when. Haven't looked much into their after market availability but from what I recall they're 6 lug so you'd have to buy shafts to match the front. Gearing sounds pretty hit or miss depending on which year its out of too. Wouldn't a quick and simple 8.8/44 or even 9" make life easier?
I have the hubs and parts to convert my front to 6 lug. I have 4.56 gears already and that's the most common gearing for them. It's a beefy center chunk that I don't have to gear. It is also the same width as my front at 63. My front is like 62.5? Weld it up and run it. Lots of people are running them with 37+ on pirate, I'm staying on 35s I think. It also has good clearance.
