From: south arkansas, also sw l
new springs and tires, and whole list of other stuff

Was finally able to get the rear springs installed (pro comp 4", no block)
hutch and harpoon mod
inner axles rebuilt and installed (pulled from the junkyard, rebuilt because I wanted confidence)
replaced the locking hubs
replaced a hub
flushed the cooling system and replaced with elc, replaced thermostat
Replaced the clockspring (have cruise control and horn again!!)
Replaced my broken headlights
35x12.50r18 bfg all terrain ta ko2
18x9 wheels
Skyjacker m95 shocks in the front
Skyjacker steering stabilizer
Rs9000s in the rear (waiting on the m95s to come in from skyjacker for the rear)

I got all my u bolts from skyjacker. I only live 30 minutes from them so I went to them directly. If I have any problems, I can get it corrected in less than an hour.

Still to do:
Install cab lights, engine bay lights, New horn, wheel well lights, front grill clearance lights.

At the end of this month she goes into the body shop to fix the dent in the front end and getting a new paint job

BTW, I was sitting on a hump in the pictures.
I'll try to get measurements sometime this weeked

I'm happy to hear your clockspring restored the cruise control and horn.
I'm about to attempt the same thing for the same problem...

Nice work! It's got to feel good.

What brand/model are those side door steps? Do they mount to the frame or the rocker?

Thanks,
Jasonodsky
