Not sure what size lift you plan on running but if you are going thru the floor 16" travel would be the smallest I would run. Even if you are going to limit it to 14" of travel 16" shocks will give you more strength.

3.5" or so. I am going to run the 14s to begin with. I wish money wasn't an option.
Did a bit of wheeling yesterday and got some surprise snow at Walker Valley ORV (north of Seattle).

Very nice, I'll be watching this, doing some similar work myself. I'll shoot this your way:

A nice plasma cutter for the backyard fabricator. I run one of their older models, it's a great unit and has saved me tons of time, really can't beat the price at $359 currently.

My brother in law just traded in his Jeep. He gave a few minutes notice and asked if I wanted to swap anything off of it for cheap. I met him in the parking lot and I grabbed the Truck-Lite LEDs and the Evo Engine and trans skid for a smokin deal :bounce:. The Jeep is a 2012 and the parts are pretty much new. Stoked!

The stretch is on the back burner for a couple more months. I have most of the parts, just don't have the time at the moment. I am hoping to take some time off work in June to get it done.

Well, not too much progress as of late.

Lots of shit to install still. Stretch is still being pushed back. I really only need driveshafts and I am good to commence, but time isn't working out.
Hopefully can get the corners and crossmember installed over the weekend.... But its the first free weekend in almost a month, so I am going wheeling tomorrow instead.
