So to start this project form scratch, you would need the calmini lift and then heavly modify it from there.  What size are those tires.  I saw the over the bucket picture, that is very impressive, but the back diff would hit it right?  Just make a IRS to match the front then it would clear just fine. ;D
Is the 7.5 front diff the steel gv?
Great project! I could only dream if somthing like that some day.

I wouldnt recomend a build like this for most people. It was quite intense trying to fit everything into place while keeping Camber, Caster, toe, and SAI correct. I would say it was almost overwhelming. The pic over the bucket is with the coils at full height. Ive been running my ride height about 1-2 inches over the bucket. Keep in mind my ride height is fully adjustable within a matter of seconds by just cranking on the weight jack with a 3/8 rachet. The front is a tracker 7.5 rear.

Mike -
Was the rear left alone, the front has more lift now right? - just curious if you added any extra lift in the rear to match the front..... (to make it level-ish ;) )

I did not add any lift to the rear. I can adjust ride height in the front with a ratchet, so how much lift I have depends on how I want it set up.
