He bought them from these guys

There all custom made you just give them your length and what fittings you want. Here is the fitting he used he said he just bent it a small amount so the brake line would be facing upwards not out towards his shocks like the stock setup.

He doesnt have any pictures and is out of town for another 2 weeks but he said he can send me a pic if I want when he gets back if needed.

That's exactly what I need. Thanks so much. Can you ask him how he wired the locker to his factory plug? That would be really helpful. :thumbup::thumbup:

Okay they is good to know. Glad the front is going better.

Not that it's kosher but could you run the links in the inside of the sway bar and the lower axle mount? I am not sure it that affects the geometry of the sway bar but it may give you a little more clearance.

I will ask my buddy what he did with his brake line. He was having trouble with it.

Also look into the master cylinder upgrade. I was told the stock one makes the brakes feel too spongy, I can ask him for the part number if you would like.

I am sure there are others that are happy to read your work through on these axles and suspension.

I'll post up some photos of the rear swaybar links sometime soon. I'm thinking a bend just might do it!
 
Well, got some tires mounted and the carrier adjusted.

Great build. Really like the axle choise with the dana 60's. I can't wait to see it out of the garage and In the sun light!
 
I'm smiling from ear to ear! Just a few small adjustments!
