Nice!!! So... 4.56 gears, lockers and 35" tires soon too??
If I can make a suggestion, before you install the long arms, build some more structure into the pass side UCA mount at the axle. Box it in and weld a gusset to one side. That long arm kit likes to rip that UCA mount right off the axle tube on heavy flex. I have seen it happen once, and heard of other cases of it happening too. Do some searching on here and see what you turn up. Its something with the angle the lower arms are bent and the mounting location of the UC arms to the lower arm.

is it like a whole axle truss or does it just reinforce the UCA mount?

gotcha.. yea that looks like a good solution.. and maybe tie down the other side with just a piece of angled steel.
yea i was gonna get the winch prerunner but i want my winch to be recessed in the grill a little bit..
if you want one by next month order it now..hehe theyre on kinda a backorder status..

My next lil project is a 242 skid & I'm prolly gonna make a jerry can mount for my tire carrier. If you need some simple gusset / bracket stuff I might be able to help you out.

yea it doesnt have to be anything special really.. just a piece of 3/16's to tie the UCA mount to the Diff housing/axle tube, like the one rustys makes.
