Pack up the Malibu and dig out the camping gear in the attic.
After I finished all of the modifications on the S-10 (including new Pro-Comp rear leaf springs) I took it out for a shakedown run. This is about 500 feet off the asphalt into the dirt by Saguaro lake. The poser shot permanently bent the passenger leaf.
Basically if the leaf springs can't handle a trip to the lake, they aren't going to survive a week and a half in Moab. I'm still driving on it, but I'm careful not to get too flexy, that won't be an option in Moab.
You should read my build thread, I did a gas tank relocation/swap in preparation for the 4 link over the 3 day weekend.

I have a hard time watching build threads. I can't keep my opinions to myself and have pissed a couple of people off in the past. I did just look at the important sections of yours. As you know, you will much more happy with the 4 link.
Add rebuild transfer case to my list.
Replace steering box.
Finish the rear narrowing job that I bit off get it running better and maybe........... put the MPFI in at this point.

Doing a full build

Replace the bent ram and install bump stops because the lack of the latter caused the former.
Got the Motor and Tranny out right now to freshen things up and installing a new custom radiator.
Due to the Holton Hillbilly Dune Party, I need to build and install a straight front end. Reinstall the hydro assist ram and new hoses differently and clean all of the sand out of my britches.
Then quit jumping it on a bad jump in a back yard and learn how to read dunes. Had the hardest hit ever at 40mph down hill. The truck just went staight up 5 plus feet. The impact was so hard, the back came up with the front. At first I thought something had broke and we were nosing over. But it landed and kept going.

Please tell me someone got the video?!
The 4-Link is done! I even managed to take it out for a quick shakedown run last night and the ride was nice!
I still have a list of things to get done and only 3 weekends left now, but I should be good.

Looking good.
Looks good! Maybe a little fender trimming in the future??

The shock is on the bump stop in that picture so no trimming necessary. The front tires also clear with no issues.
