    Alignment seems fine but still need to get done. Trac Off light came on. Vsc will need to be recalibrated. I did not take measurement. Sorry.

    Only pictures I have right now. I will be taking more tomorrow. I would have to say that its almost 4". It should settle. Hopefully in the stated 2.5 to 3 inch range.

    So I have the bp51 kit coming (coilovers, rear shocks, Dakars, LR UCAs and CB spacer) do I need to get anything else before it arrives? Bushings for the leaf Springs? Angled shims?,should I add greasable shackles when the dakars are going in? U bolt flip kit?, bumpstops, new uca bolts, extended brake lines? (I'm hearing that the lift is 4 inches from stock with no armor).....

    So it looks like ARB is getting some sponsorship time in with mountain state overland... Installing BP-51s on their new rigs... Some interesting info here, they put a little bit of abuse into it, but no real wheeling yet that I saw. (I'm only halfway through).

    For now.
    I managed to get a little trail driving. Both off and on road the system absorbs the bumps nicely. The faster you go, the smoother it gets. I did not get to play with a lot of articulation yet, but so far, I am very pleased with it. It will only be improved with the addition of UCAs and LCAs.

    A Driveline Carrier bearing dropkit and front diff dropkit.

    Front diff dropkit:

    This will tell you the right torque specs for the driveline carrier:

    I didn't get extended brake lines and I haven't had issues.

    Do I need taller bumpstops or can I use my factory ones? Angled shims? @Crom seems to recommend them

    My use of shims was a hedge. Best to measure drive line angles and go from that.
