i saw on your future plans that you want to do a body lift, war153 shackles and a superlift..... and then maybe a sas. From experience, don't waste your money on the IFS if you think you want to do a sas. just do the swap. that is what i am in the process of now. the stock suspension can handle 35's but you will be replacing busted cv's and worn out hub bearing assemblies frequently if you wheel it.

Nice ride! I like the cobra cb radio, scanner, led shift knob, and the pioneer unit, sweet! Does the knob have scanning mode on it? Looks pretty good and you should get a cobra radar detector on it! Keep me posted for pics! Check out my ride and vote/rate!
