I'd love to see some up-close pics of how you did the front suspension. :)

Ditto on the pics. What did you do for the rear? Coils?

How does it drive? Streetable?

Side pic gives me a good idea where my axle will be sitting... except I think that my springs have a touch more arch than the ones you're using, so I'll definately be taking out the body lift for 33's. :P

Homemade steering arms? Stock steering box in the stock location? How's that setup working for you (the way you have your arms and draglink)

Looks good, but.....uh, are those long bolts spacing your steering apart? And what did you use for the hi steer arms? Just steel chunks? Those bolts will snap/bend under some good wheeling.

How's it handle w/ the (I think they're called) buggy leafs?

Need more tire!!  ;D

Edit: With your suspension that way, a trac bar in the front might be a good idea. I can see that axle walking side to side a good bit with the way you have the springs mounted.

actually, had it on the street a bit and it handles great, the steering arms were made from 1" thick steel machined and with the bearing cap added.... the arms are home made, 3/4" heims, 1/4" wall tubing, and the bolts are 3/4" so they should hold up quite well.
