Ok here is the deal. I may be able to get a deal on the 6 inch skyjacker drop brackets, and radius arms. Now if i did this, and i did the lift, i know up front i would need a pitman arm, and coils. and new shocks of course. How hard could i expect this all to be, i know the whole rivits thing, but i dont know whats exactly involved in that. What about driveshafts, and brake lines etc. will i run into any trouble?

and as for the rear, is there any way to do the spring over without getting stuff welded on?
 






Ya dude, I did all the same you spoke of. I dunno if the jacker is like the brackets I have(dont really even know the brand) but I punched a hole in my front diff this weekend wheelin so bump stops may be necessary. Also you will need to extend brake lines, as I hadn't yet and snapped one this weekend also(kinda a bad week) I did my SOA for like $32 and yes you should at least tach weld on the perches, but if you buy the superlift, or M.O.R.E. perches, they may be antiwrap, search Spring Over Conversions 101 by me to find a big discussion.
