OK so the time has finally come.
The pieces are rolling in and here is flow as how I think its going to go
repair rear section of frame rot with safe-t-cap sections
Relocate upper spring buckets to top of frame arch (Daves Custom Unlimited (DCU)) and frame side rear track bar bracket to inside of frame rail (Ruffstuff)
Install new control arms, track bar, 4" lift progressive springs and bump stops(Savvy/Currie)
Figure out new ride height then remove springs
burn in new lower shock mounts (DCU)
cycle suspension and mark frame for outboarding figuring what travel I want (5up/7down or 6up/6down?)
notch frame and burn in shock towers (DCU)
install shocks (fox 12")

on to the front
install control arms and 4" progressinve springs (savvy/currie) and shocks (fox 10")
install antiroc, front track bar and steering (currie)

YEEOWSER thats alot of work:)  I'm not going to put a time limit on it bc I ALWAYS go over
I cant wait to try it out at Footestone Park:)

 

Mr Rock:
Good luck, it's always good to have a plan of attack to keep youself on track.
As for the rear shocks what about 4" up and 8" droop or even 3" & 9", it has always been my thought to max droop as much as possible.

that used to be my thought untill i started eating front drive shafts and pinion yokes  with a locker i will just go back to floating a tire

footman:
I just talked to Blaine at Savvy.  He reccomends 6/6 with the suspension and body lift that I have.

BTW - I will soon have a Rough Country X-flex complete suspension upgrade for sale. 

footman:
Update,
All parts delivered except shocks. Rear end is all torn apart.  Will start cutting old brackets off tonight.
