man i went with the he8s off of airbagit.com buy 2 get 2 free i think it was 220 or somewhere around there for all 4 all i lack now are all the fittings probly going with compression fittings from local hardware store they are pretty fair priced compared to most i've found online.
managed to get most of the unwanted brackets torched off the rear of frame and cut out front coils before the torch ran out of oxygen
most everything was welded plus the factory rivets the tow package and gooseneck plate are next to go once i get it refilled

this is about what ride height i will be shooting for

Front is done and back together finished the lcas finally been sick the last week and half havent really felt like messin with it but it is done now i boxed in the lcas recessed 2" could have gone a little more but im not to worried about having the front layin on the ground and these are just temporary till i get some tubular lowers it is sittin about 4.5" off ground right now so i think later on will be gettin some drop spindles should put me right around 1-1.5" from layin out good enough for me had time to build the notches had some 3x3 1/4" and gonna plate the joints with 3/16" should be more than enough hopefully wednesday will be able to get started on the back got some 2x2 1/4" for the trailing arms just gonna move factory leaf spring mount forward a little bit so bars wont be so short still debating on where to mount rear bags probly gonna be on the bars and gotta get a watts link or all the pieces to build one got a few 4x4 shops around here gonna see what they can get me if not im sure tractor supply will have enough to get me rollin on it got some pics but my phone actin up so will get them up asap
