    It sounds like a great idea, until you try it for a few years....

    I am bummed out that I can't take my buggy on the road. I really miss being able to go on a 3 hour drive up into norther michigan without loading up on a trailer. It sucks too having an open-air rig whenever you go out in the now. I'm actually actively trying to sell my buggy so i can go back to an LJ, JKU or build my DCSB.

    Out here we are so close to trails that you see trail rigs licensed on the street.

    New valving seems to ride great on the street, will need more pavement and off-road miles to say for certain. Much more suitable to the weight of the truck and spring combo.

    Cam tab and spindle gussets showed up today. Need to track down a set of instructions for the spindle gussets though.

    Yeah, I figured that out when I called them. @AaronArf said the instructions tells you what set of hardware to use to get everything lined up. Hmmmm

    My cam tabs had them, not sure who removed them or they just don't pack them.

    I'm shocked you didn't flatten yours many months prior with how you wheel.

    I've welded the stocks. Considering that one has a tab completely missing and I'm already doing the work of pulling the LCA it was a no brainer to just go ahead and beef it up.

    If the LCA is coming out anyways do the TC... if it's not then use a bead to gusset the stock crap...it's a no brainer.

    Yep, it'll make for an easy transition when I get aftermarket arms. And it'll be a good foundation for when I decide to say fuck these cams and solid mount the lowers.
