    No alignment yet, but truck handles and rides great. Looks good too, higher stance, and nice rake. Loud thumping did go away, but still hear a thump once in a while, might still have to change wheel bearings. but that's gonna have to wait.

    Cool. Make sure to check over everything after a couple hundred miles.

    Yes I will. Most likely when I do the brake lines or install the longer shocks (gotta get them first though)

    All pro standards. Eventually will probably do some rear shock hoops and shackle flip.

    I think the standards will be perfect for a shackle flip because you won't be so ass high compared to the expos. They are nice and plush.

    I would go with the ATO kit. Install is the same for the two. ATO used the same one piece shackle type and Archive uses two separate flat bar shackles similar to the 1st gen shackles. IMHO, the ATO kit has more adjustment and looks like guys are getting better shackle angles with it. ATO and SOS makes heavy duty gusseted shackles in different lengths for it that will not work with the Archive kit.

    No idea, but the ATO seems to be popular. Still waiting on a few things.

    From my research ATO or SOS is the one to go with....I've been hearing good things about the archive one also.

    Past the point of no return. I'm all in now. What makes it worse is that this "kit" won't work with the stock t case cross member, and it wasn't really mentioned anywhere...

    This is when the instructions read :
    Installation is NOT reverse of removal.

    I wonder if all pro designed for the manual trans. Maybe the crossmember is in a different location.
    Good luck, just glad that I can live vicariously through your build.

    Probably gonna have to run the front range off road crossover, and maybe throw in an FJ manual t case and Marlin crawl box while I'm at it... What's another $1500? :rofl::anonymous:
