    I'm gonna go with it considering the factory rears are longer than the front so if I'm wrong someone correct me before I get to far lol

    Thank you
    Ok one more question I'm working on the front springs right now I've got the correct measurements for where the mounts go and I think my shackles are angled properly for not having any weight on them but the pin on the springs Do not line up with the axle
    What do I do
    I've never attempted anything like this

    Can't wait to see it all buttoned up man. Everything listed above will make a huge cosmetic difference alone!

    been a little busy with work but the top fits but it is definitely stretched on there and the doors are a little short because the height of the windshield. Also I'm still not finished with springs I got all but 1
