Well i actually utilized the stock lines and just put some 3/8" rubber fuel line around them in the areas that may rub a little bit.

They are a very hard compound which makes them last a while on the road and can take some abuse but they do not grip well on rocks and really loose soil. You can expect them to run like hell when going forward in the mud but if u get stuck going forward you probably wont be able to back out due...

Check into a set of Skyjacker Springs, i beleive they are a higher spring rate. If not Rough Country makes a stiffer set than the RE Springs.

I've heard of people using stock late model chevy 1/2ton brake lines. Might run up to O'riellys and take them a brakeline, see if u can find something that will work. If not u can run up to a local hyraulic shop, im sure they can make u up a set, they are usually cheaper than having an acutal...

Here is a video of me breaking the shaft on mama bear, its towards the end. This is also what convinced me to ditch the front bumper as it looks nice but is just in the way. Also here are a couple pics of the shaft i broke. Its pretty ductile metal as it broke at exactly 90*. Splines...

Well we went out to Flat Nasty this weekend, here are the results. Friday night about 2 hours into wheeling, i spit a short side u joint cap, it clipped the ball joint and bound up which then broke the shaft. Since i couldnt afford a set of spares yet i thought i wasnt going to really get to...

Well, thanks everyone for the kind comments. This build spanned about a year and a few months. It is actually a lot more streetable than i thought it would be. It has near zero bumpsteer, less than my last setup; I ran it down some backroads up to about 45mph and it ran pretty well. Tires...
