The springs are stock with the overload removed, custom hangers moved under the frame and aftermarket shackles.They are also flipped around so the long side of the spring is toward the front for less overhang in the rear.

Very nice build! Keep up the good work.
Sometimes I like the idea of those flares but I just can't bring myself to do it. I have good sheet metal on the front fenders and plan to weld in new panels for the back.

Is that 3/16" non gusseted plate steel that cab surround is welded to?....
1/4" and the tube lands about 3/8" away from both slider tubes. There are 2 frame tie ins right behind that, one straight and the other triangulated and both tube. This isn't as much for barrel roll protection as it is tree sliding. Tight trails around here kill the windshield pillar and cab tops.

First official trail run this last weekend. Everything went awesome, except the power steering was leaking ALL DAY LONG. Went through 6 bottles of fluid.
The thing navigated AMAZINGLY through the trees. One of the skinniest trails in the area, 8 hours, first time driver, neither of us knowing how it would do, steering going out a few times in the middle of a turn... 2 scrapes about 3 inches long. That's it.
Video I got of the day:
