    Ordered the 50T from engage, still haven't decided what to do in front. they were on sale, seemed pretty reasonable at 525$, I'll give em a shot. Should be night and day from my aal obviously, now just need to figure out the front setup, and what shocks to run in the rear.

    my buddy's defender, pretty sweet rig. Only 27000 miles. finally got him talked into wheelin recently. He had the advantage in certain places pre lockers, tonight it wasn't even a comparison, which felt good lol.

    question, any ideas on what shackles to use for the 50T spring? i wanna keep it at the very least level with the front (with a tc 2" kit). I don't know who would make this stuff. if anyone has any suggestions that'd be great. Other question, do I need to put the rear shocks inside the frame to avoid rubbing?

    ...too much shit to list.
    Engage sells a hanger kit (not one I would particularly recommend). Richer Racing also sells one but it's $$$.
    You can mount the shocks outside the frame rails so long as you hug the frame as tight as you can and run wheel spacers on the rear. Just make sure to get hub centric spacers like Spidertrax or AP.

    How wide of a wheel spacer would I need? 1.25? Or wider?

    Minimum would be 1.25" but it will all depend on how you fab up the shock mounts. My recommendation is to go as small of a spacer as possible.

    finally got the light bar on, i decided to put the 10" on the bed for now since i dont have any backup lights, it's a lil overkill :). the 40" is unreal!

    got a lil messy during the install, turned out to be kind of a pain in the ass wiring everything in. Ended up putting in the blue sea fuse block and rerouted the compressor and all the light stuff behind the backseat. picked up a 2nd optima yellow top and battery isolator. going to build a mount for it this weekend and get it set up. should help clean thing up a bit.
