From a safety factor perspective you're way under braked up front considering the motor.............IMO. Not many things will hurt you quicker than inadequate grip and brakes.
Noted on the brakes....will be giving them the necessary attention in short order.

Alright, so these suggestions give me something to chew on but leave me with a few questions. I see no mention of the G-mod. Do the offset shafts and tall ball joints accomplish the same thing? And I kind of figured the rear leafs I have now would have to be replaced since I'm removing the lift/traction bars and these springs have no provision to control wheel hop....or is that not as big of a concern as I'm making it out to be?
