The brake hose came from Rough Country, says its stock lenght because back is only lifted 2", when I replaced it, the new one(from RC) was about 1.5" longer.thanks Fastback, the front still needs to settle a tad. Its sitting with the back tilted down a Hair.

I would love yo run 35s on mine but i only have 3.55 gears right now with 33s and i dont want to imagine 35s.

I'm interested in how you did your tie rod flip. Did you use some bushings?

He would have to change the wing vent windows out for 92-96 wing vent windows.
Also not sure if it would clear the dash.

worked great for me, should eliminate the bump steer. Now you have to find a 7 degree reamer.
