    dude whats the trick to mounting the KC lights on your cowl, from what i can tell on mine is the cowl is welded to the rest of the body. The lights look bad ass there and was thinking about moving mine to that location

    SAS with radius arm flex

    From the pics it looks to have great flex. Does it? Is is stock bronco style or does it have a wristed radius arm? I'm doing the same swap. I was concerned about that style of front suspension and how it articulated in this application. What's your thoughts on it? Would you change it?
    Any help would be appreciated.
