Well found a few hours to sit down and get something done. Decided to work on this

Rear is now linked. Both axles are running a panhard setup. 2 main links, one short link to prevent axle wrap and a panhard bar. Worked perfect for this because of limited space. Also got the shock installed. Went with highlift shocks and kept the internal springs. They worked well because there is no room for full coils and the internal springs are just enough to hold it up

WOW, that looks great and it also looks like it performes better as well. Can't wait to see how it looks with it all put together and running. If you need a bed I have the one I was telling you about earlier, but I think it may be too small for this. LMK.

P.S. I'm going to try and get that axle from you after friday, possibly saturday.

Yeah for sure, either the bumper it came with or I will make my own out of... I dunno something But it does look goofy as is. Lots of little details to work out still.

But I have to admit I did drive it around when I had the leaf spring setup on it and its a blast, the 6 wheel steering is freakin great! Turns on a dime The three speeds make it interesting too
