Springs or shocks or both?

Are you going to try the front first, see how it handles and then fit the rears in a month or so?

Props sorted thanks - they cost a lot more than I wanted to spend but it had to be done - double cardan heavy duty on the front and a heavy duty wide angle extended (well thats what it said in the advert) on the rear

I wanted to do a step by step photo series but changed my mind as I just wanted to get the job done and I was doing it on my own , so only took pics at the end of each day
Wheels and tyres a bit of a sore subject there ( I know on here you get loads of abuse asking about them on here lol) I actually bought some Mickey Thompson 35s baja claw but I'm in two minds whether to use them as I don't really want to cut the arches etc so at the moment I'm sticking with 8 spokes with 235 85 16 BF AT's on the rear and BF MT's on the front ........ I'm definately open to suggestions on how big I can go without cutting the body work though

As it is now .......... still a lot to do though
