Building suspension components can be life threatening if it is not built just right. If you plan on streeting this I would buy a kit.

Thats 100% right, when I built my explorer I needed to totally reengineer the front end being that it had rack steering and torsion bar suspension, and went to a box steering set up with leafs, it took awhile to get it all right AND STREET SAFE being that noone did it b4 me I had no guidence. I did get it to drive 100% even over a tested 110mph speed, If someone had made a kit for this I would have bought it 10 times over because it took so much and alot of cash to get it right.

     Same here I'm still trying to work all the bugs out of the Real Red Wagons Motherlode 6" suspension lift :P. It performed very well at Zuwharrie ;D but friday while I was climbing Dickey Bell I snaped the spacer for the third link on the rear axle >:( we limped it back to camp and welded it back together with some reinforcements and finished out the weekend very well but thats now the third piece we've made for the rear axle and if we didn't have acssess to a welder at camp my weekend would have been over :'(
