Lookin good. Those knuckles should save you a good amount. Machining usually costs around 200+ with labor.

Youll probably beat me, Im too busy stuffing crap under the jeep.

Yup, I still have that link you sent me in my email for the tires!

Yeah, although the arms aren't cheap either, but at least the machining is done!

Haha, well post up some pics of the jeep... or email me some pics of it since its not a dakota!

I have to get upper coil buckets (the frame side). The ones that came with the f150 were rusted through. If those are what you were asking about, they won't do you any good. These are the ones I'm getting:

I hope it's soon too!! I still have to order the spring towers and get the metal to make the crossmemebers. I'm also going to get a R&P install kit for the 44 so I can swap the gears in the f250 housing to the f150 housing.

Be sure to get pics!!!
