Is it tough to get in and out of with the corbos?

looks like you lost some headroom? (Now that I look again ,maybe not)

NICE

you lose a flip flop during the install?

Yes, lost some headroom - will be clawing that back  with removal of shim stacks and cushion break in.  Or cutting torch / grinder?  The seat cushion is almost 3": thick.  So yea, time to claw headroom back.   Again, much taller than 5'11" and this would be a no go.

Kind of.  Like I say trade offs.  Ehh.  Better to use the seats than sell them at a loss. 

Now onto to bumpers and exterior tire rack.  31" will not fit in factory spare position and no sense being off road without a full size spare. 

May cut the fenders.  Really trying to avoid that but want to be able to run a 3 / 3.5 and that may require disconnect of sway bars which would stuff tires into fenders.  Figure it would be better to do it on my terms than getting them all stuffed and bending shit?
;D

Well, I stopped by Jason's shop today.  First off, seat brackets are so getting reworked.  Will lower seat, recline a bit and move em back.  So, short term problem on head room issues.  Cool.  Problem solved.  Not quite yet, but soon enough.

His place is right next to G and M Motorsport.  G and M is a guy that used to be manager at four wheel parts in Mesa.  George. 
While @ Jason's I talked to George. Here is the plan for my goals. (Trail rig, trail rig, trail rig)  Bear in mind it has a lift, about 3" already.  Maybe 3.5"


Stage 1
Replace rear leaf springs, has some sag and already has add a leaf.
1" Coil spacer in front
Steering Stabilizer
Adjustable track bar
Sway bars disconnects. 
Alignment

Stage2
Rear locker

Sounds like that will get me where I want to be?  Input on the plan?
