Can't wait to see how the front comes out!!!! Looks great.
 
Nice! Did the expo leafs give you most of the lift or was it bigger shackles too. I was wondering cause I need about 2.5 to 3 inches of lift on the back so I need to know if I need to get anything besides expo leafs with it.
 
sweet, i'm probably gonna do that same setup in the rear of my BII, those rad arms are sweet lookin, fab them up yourself?
 
looks good man...when we doing the front lol
