    That is a nice looking kit. I'll be making my own out board leaf spring mounts. Lots of fab work to do, and not much if any time right now. Seems I've started remodelling my house and work is going to go crazy soon. A little at a time, my last project took 7 years. This project was actually started before my last Jeep build, I'm just finally picking it back up again to work on it as time and money allows.

    I think I will be doing my own version as well. Well, having someone do it actually, I aint a fabricator nor welder. I trust my dirty welds on little stuff or non important stuff, but NOT suspention. That Daves place always sells the exact same front bumper that comes in the kit by itself for $300 I beleive so I may just buy the bumper and have my perches welded to it. Saves money and for the rear I was thinking 3x5" steel tube bolted and welded to the outside of the frame for the rear mounts. I'll leave that up to the guy who I have do it, whoever he may be. I will be running a toyota v6 IFS rear axle with 4:56's and a waggy front Dana 44 with rear 79-83 toyota springs. There is a guy locally that is selling me the axle with new gear set and all 4 leaf springs for $400 and since his place is split 50/50 with a shop on one side and wrecking yard on the other, I may just see if I can squeeze a deal out of him if I have him do all the work as well.
