2 14" and 2 16" FOA coilovers are on their way, the 16's leak and need some work but the 14's aren't supposed to leak. Supposedly they are a little wobbly though, we'll see next week when they arrive
Either way they have reservoirs and swivel ends and all the coil hardware and I think I got a good deal on them
Hopefully the 14's will work for me up front and I eventually want to back half the rear and hopefully I can get the 16's sorted out by then

Looking good man! I think that should certainly keep you from getting dead in a rollover.
Put my crew cabs rear seat in, sits lower, my head isn't close to the cage anymore in the back, most of the people that will be riding back there are shorter than me also, just got to mount it now
Also got a ruffstuff cover, had to grind it to fit, still easily over 1/4" thick, not gonna worry about adding any on the outside

What tie rod are you using? Does it clear the new cover?
I think it's either 1.5" or 1.625"
I'll check, do these covers have clearance problems?
The countersunk holes on my cover suck because whoever had it before primed the cover and painted it and the paint is thick and its throwing off the fitment, so I'll be cleaning oout the holes with a die grinder before I install it. At least it is painted nice though, and I have a place for my J76 sticker now

If you have diff cover clearance issues, try these:

I went made a 1.5" DOM tie rod, and since it was thicker than stock, I used these offset TREs, and my tie rod clears my stock cover - but it's fairly close. If I were to use an aftermarket cover, I'd expect I'd come nearly in contact with it, but still clear it OK. I suspect you might need to just get these TREs.

I've been down to work on my truck 3days now and still haven't checked yet
I was more worried about epoxying a magnet to my cover lol, I'm worried about the metal shavings that got in my diff from the last cover. Got all of it mounted today so thats out of the way now
I've dropped almost $1000 so far on my truck this summer, I'm getting depressed. Still got the frame and big block from my k35 and some scrap though thankfully
I'm about to order the just released yukon 35 spline selectable hubs also
Still need to get another suspension seat, I think I've got enough steel to finish up everything thankfully
I'm doing some marketing stuff on the internet so hopefully that works out and it gives me some extra spending money every month
It's been storming the past few days so I haven't been able to do much, of course I ran out of gas and it started to down pour, so now I've got some surface rust to hit with the wire wheel before I weld up front
