New mods. James duff radius arms and BFG ATS (PICS)

Hey everyone. Over spring break I went to visit my dad and we did a few things to my car. Along with some maintenance we also added James Duff radius arms, an add-a-leaf, and BFGoodrich ATs. Also added some neat decals too. BTW. The tires rub on the radius arms at full lock with stock wheels, the shocks are too short and rub the radius arms without the duff shock mounts, and the new arms and cross member was a pain to install. BUT, as soon as I get the shock hoops and new shocks I'll be flexing like crazy. I can already notice a lack of the typical clanging and banging, handling is better because of the caster fix (f-150 spacers with stock radius arms), and in general control and feel is much better. Without further ado, here are some pics.

I just had the best offroading trip I've ever had too, pics will be up shortly.

Jim, just f-150 spacers right now, but plans to go 4" and fiberglass when I get out of college, thats why I went ahead and got the radius arms. And the new tires are on, you just replied to quickly;).
