yessir, the stock fan and fan shroud will be in the way of the new front axle I think

sweet, did you decide on 3 link or 4 link for the front? i'm also guessing you plan on going full hydro too?

Wish I knew, I have an extra I could have given you.

You going back up this weekend? Let me know the next time your heading up so I can give you some $$ to pick up those springs for me

Wish I had known haha mighta saved me some cash. I'm not going up this weekend but probably in the next 2-3 weeks unless you need them sooner in which case it would give me a good reason to, my schedule is pretty open.

Still deciding between the two, 4 link would be nice if I can fit the uppers and still have a decent amount of length to them. 3 link would probably be much easier to package though. I'm trying to keep it pretty low so at full bump the axle will ideally be in front of the motor, which would limit the triangulation I could get from my uppers.

The plan is for full hydro but if I go 3 link and am really tight on cash I might just keep the hydro assist for the time being, the steering is going to be the most expensive part of the front end redo.

I bought stuff from him before. Wouldn't do it again.

Yeap thats AJ. I do know him and am considering those, its just a little steep for my current budget haha. If it included rims we'd be talkin though I may still end up with those, i might try and beat him up a bit on the price.
