Thanks, I've definitely spent way too many hours and too much $$ on it, but it's been a good learning experience. I failed (again) at keeping my build thread up to day, I tend to spend more time lurking then posting. It's been back on the road for most of the year and pretty well sorted minus a few nagging maintenance issues that I keep chasing.
No diff drops for me. The diff drops lower the front of the diff about an inch, but since it pivots off the back mount you only get maybe a 1/2" of actual CV drop. There seems to be varying opinions on whether it actually helps but I guess it can't really hurt. I can say that I ripped my CV boots shortly after my lift was installed, and two friends w/ Tacos did the same. The replacement boots are going strong with about 20k miles, but if they rip again I'll try one of the special high-angle boots instead.
I'm running SS brake lines all around, extended in the back. With the extra droop the Icons provide in back I think it's a good idea, although my parking brake is a border line limit strap now. Another thing to add to the list before I beat on it too much. It's amazing how many issues pop up when you start really driving these things hard offroad. I managed to vibrate out all of the gas tank mounting bolts somehow this weekend. On the way to the alignment shop today the last of the bolts must have came loose and the front of the gas tank was held up by the fuel lines. I was able to get it home with some ratchet straps and steal my skid plate bolts to get it re-mounted. I actually have a new bolt policy that it's either getting anti-sleaze or lock-tite. I apparently chose wrong with the gas tank bolts, that or I'm an idiot and didn't tighten them correctly.
In the rear I'm still on the factory bump stops, but in the front I installed a set of light racing jounce shocks. There is still some tuning to do but they show promise.
