Flex pics look fine so far.

So how did the budget shake out? Total cost so far?

Close up Pics of exhaust, steering box setup, etc.?

yes as far as 2wd...i'm saving up tp get a 4:1 transfer case and drivshaft to bolt into that...as far as cost i crunching the numbers now and will get you the price...close up pics will come with the other ones some time next week...it seemed to be better as far as room, approch angle...i didn't mind the axle is away from the oil pan enough to not even come close to any problems also i wanted away from that pinch weld area...i messured wheel base and 109 inches...

That front axle sure does help on the approach angle.

Grats. Can't wait for us to get out on the trail together and try to break it. Once you get all the bugs worked out I can get mine done :lol: I have three vehicles so I could leave mine with the guy for months if I need to..

The trail shots look great & I think moving the axle forward was a great idea. Is it legal for you to have your wheel's so far out from the side of the car, couldn't do that over here.

Yep it varies,I know SD the law is the vehicle can not be wider than 144".Most of the lift laws where overturned here in CO as unconstintional.

actually if your talking about erik, then he is not 100% legal. Maybe on width, but he has gotten tickets for being lifted too high.
