Finally done. Special thanks to Lucky8 and HLCfab. Justin has been great help in answering all my questions and getting everything in place. Even calling me on memorial day to get me a Tom Woods driveshaft 2day air'd to me so I could attend a Land Rover event.

Nice rig! I think I'm more impressed with your shop, though!

Looks great all around!

Thanks. I'm lucky enough that my girlfriends dad is the head shop person (not sure of job title) at the land rover dealer here.

nice dude, Ive got 33's on my truck now and they've been looking really small lately.

I need to get my gears and trutracs installed but, then my trutracs won't be affective if I go any larger...

I am running the stock arms for now, only because Rovertym was moving shop. Not sure if I should get the terrafirma ones to bring back the castor instead of just longer...But I have no vibration other than a slight one at 55mphs, but that only happened when I installed the Tom Woods Double cardon shaft in the rear(35")

I think the shocks are working great. I still leave the sways connected until I get some way to retain the springs. Also need to correct the Watts Linkage. So that I can get the articulation back. Though the 35"s (more like a big 34") stuffed pretty well.

As I run out of things to spend money on, I will more than likely upgrade the shocks to the Fox models. Also I need tons more experience driving off road. I want to go to the National LR Rally since it's only like 8 hours from me.

Can you get a picture of the middle of the rear shock at rest?

I want to compare it to my OME +2.

Yes I will get the picture and post it here.

As for them being too wide, 35x10.5 is a pretty unstandardized sizing. Going with that could put me in a bind when needing a spare ASAP etc etc.

Yeah she kinda let's me do what I want :)

Nice job! You must have a pretty cool girl friend (tires in the kitchen).

Ha we have a guy in married housing that had 6 255/85 BFG MTs sitting in his 1 bedroom apartment.

Edit: He still has some in his kitchen...

If this isn't the angle you want, I'll take the wheel off tonight and get better pics.

Yeah it looks like I might switch them out sooner than later.

Which shocks are you planning on going with?
