      Yes, or plate over the down hanging bolts and have access holes to get at your nuts. That’s what I have.

    You are going to love the shackle reversal on the road, it will drive amazing. You can go around 2.5 inch with the front diff with a shortened pitman arm.. keep up the good work!

    It’s looking good! I liked the little trick with the grease on the breather tube.

      @@FortuneOffRoad Yep! Should work really well. The front stretch/shackle reversal will really improve ride/street manners. The do require a long travel front driveshaft tho. Well worth it.

    I run vet tubes to my intake because it’s gotta be dry. I’m trying to source a valve that can select between atmospheric and OBA . Any ideas? Problem being most solutions don’t allow for 2 sources to one with isolation of them.

      I wonder if you could use an air solenoid to change between the two.

      @@FortuneOffRoad so far what I have not found something that will seal off the “unselected” source. So when it’s switched to atmosphere, there will be a constant leak on my OBA. I’m sure there is something out there, I just dont know where to search other than Grainger.

      I've taken the revolver shackles off. I've got traditional ones now and am looking for a softer spring.
