little bit of an update. I got my front lines on & bled, mounted the drive line, & flexed her out to measure for my shocks. from the hoop to the leaf sping plate its 21" compressed, 28" at full droop. Got the hook up on my shocks that reach 19"-31"! then got started mounting the cage. PITA haha

Finished mounting the cage, & got started on the shocks! This thing is gonna be SICK! 
This will give me 3"s of adjustment!
Also ordered 2 CJ shifter boots to try squeeze over the eyelet, & mount to the floor so I don't have a gaping hole.
What do you guys think?
