You would be much better off going to a suspension specialist to get the right set up for your rig.

great gear , or great coils ??
Who's shocks , whos panhards,
I normally dont say anything about others manufacturers gear but first problem i see is the panhards use poly bushes which will fail after the first few offroad drives, the second problem is single nut panhards are prone to coming undone ( see it all the time ) , third they look to be mild steel round bar buy the amount of bend they have put in, 4th check if it is a screw cut thread or a dodgy rolled thread.
Contact the seller and ask them whos gear it actually is , what warranty they have, what they are manufactured from.
If they cant tell you, well you make the decision if it"s worth your hard earned money.
Dobinsons are good coils but that does not make the whole kit great. ;)

Give Shane at Suspension Stuff a call. He'll hook you up with the good gear, at a good price too!

Dude are you still goin to put the drop boxes in like we talked about, rather than use the offset bushes or did ya change ya mind?

yes drop boxes, but i think they hang down from the chassis a bit, otherwise caster plates?

run rubber caster bushes for 2" only, go boxes or some brand of drop arm. Plate drive poorly in comparison.
