I'm glad to see someone document a 4x4-to-2wd conversion with Deadend Garage parts.
If I bag it, it will definitely get 2” blocks. Right now, probably going static, as I have most of the parts on hand... unless I can find another $2-3k in the budget to bag it properly.

I’ve been wanting to document a conversion for a while now; I’m personally more interested in properly locating the front crossmember for prosperity, as there seems to be lots who have done it, but no definitive guidance. The DEG parts should make the rear a snap; remains to be seen!

J/K- I subbed now.
Yes, everyone that my wife has mentioned this to at her work thinks I’m a lunatic and won’t talk to me anymore... I’ll just go over here and be crazy by myself
