Hope your Shock hoops unbold. Otherwise it should be interesting to pull that engine when you need to.
Just cut and add a couple tube couplers when the time comes.
Nice build!
I should get some more pics up today. Thanks guys!
Here's some more pics.
Thank you 
The shock hoops are from ruff stuff. I cut about 3" off and fish mouthed them onto the frame. MUST have a cross bar to tie them together because our frames are so weak. I will be fabbing a full tube cage tying everything together eventually. The frame needs lots of help. I may eventually box it in with one of kert's kits down the road. It's definitely the best riding leaf spring vehicle I've ever driven off road but I will say it's like a marshmallow on the street but The only street it sees is on the way to the desert. Or 7-11 lol.
Oh and I forgot to mention all the vibration is gone with the double cardan driveshaft. Smooth as glass.
And the new front driveshaft is a beast!

And please don't beat me up on the welds. Lol. No wire feed at the moment so I had to stick everything.
Let's play guess what this is. First is an up close pic so you can see it, then a reference shot.
drag link
You guessed it. I believe I need some taller bump stops. I'm glad it barely kissed. Would of sucked to hurt my new box.
Yes you do a lot bigger ones
Any suggestions? I think I have 5.5" from spring to drag link and 6.5 " from spring plate to stock bumpstop. I know what I'd like to put on it but my budget is shot right now.
Something like mine. Works rather well have about $10 into it. Put a triangle bump on the bottom of it. I had to fix my frame where it had ripped so the bigger piece of plate was for that.
same bump as the front
Got the bumps themselves for free so that is why the cheap cost
Ah yeah, I've done that. I added an inch to the shackle length and went through a couple bump stop setups but I'm doing pretty well now.
