Thanks! Yep I have a buddy picking up some line for me today and we will knock out the brakes and hopefully the rest of the swap tonight. The 9.5 looks so ridiculously big under here its awesome.

Finished the swap pretty easily. Everything drives like stock except this G80 actually locks up which is nice. Need to get a couple things to finish routing the bag lines. Don't think there's enough space for a fancy diff cover but there's plenty of room for a bigger sway bar.

Also with the free travel mod done the axle freely travels Into the exhaust which then travels freely to the spare tire crossmember. With air in the bags this may be mitigated or I will notch the cross member.






Full droop

Ride height

Exhaust kissing frame

If it quits then it gets a truetrac


But I have read pretty good reviews of the G80 in the 9.5.

Tires must be 50% off every weekend. The way Florida boys ride.

well it does seem like Discount Tire always has a sale to celebrate the end of their previous sale...

Got a total of 10 wheels 8 with tires for less than $200. Been wanting a second set of wheels and having a few others laying around to roll axles around with and hang the garden hose on is nice.
