Nice job. You've got me all curious. Can't wait to see some more pics! Why don't you tell us a little bit about your lift, and how it went.

the lift took me about 7 days.. but long days 8 hrs of it was work then 10hrs on the lift.. for the most part it was painless once i figured out how i was going to tackle it i used a dana 30 for the front diff (truck is a pavement princess) for now untill i find a dana 44 out a wrangler rubicon.. i used 2001 grand cherokee knucles because of the high steer ( no y link ) and the blazer wheel bearings bolt right on ( bolt pattern ) with help of a shim i machined up used 2001 ford sport trac rotors and drilled out for the blazer bolt pattern and used the grand cherokee double piston calipers. 4" jeep drop pitman arm ( fits perfectly because its saginaw box ) out back i did an axle flip, 2" add a leaf and a 4" lift block the rear driveshaft was lenghtened 3" ,for better streetability sway bars were reconected and i used gas charged shocks..
I still need to get gears front and back (3.07's in front, 3.47's in rear) i want to change them to 4.11's but possibly 4.56's
i also havent bothered getting the front shaft made untill i get maching gears but it will be a double cardan joint with a slip yoke eliminator
