Thanks for the comments and ratings. I love the air shocks, need some sway control though. I have an update; I finally broke one of my Dana 30 chromo axles and blew up my terlow 231 T-case.  It was a 5 hour extraction off terminator not 2 weeks after I posted all of my pics. So true to word I am going to install a Dana 60 up front and 14bolt out back. I will make sure to take a lot of pictures along the way and share them with everyone.
