Good eye on the TC shifter. I dont have any of the shifter parts yet, and I also don't have a front driveshaft, so it will stay 2wd til I gather money for a shaft and parts for the TC, and in the meantime I didn't know where I was going to end up with a hole in the floor for the shifter to come through so I just left it all out until that time comes. The truck likely wont see snow driving unless its a family trip or something, I got the jeep for the salt and trash they put on the roads around here!

I talked to offroad design and they didn't care for my idea of going with the 3" springs in front to try and net 2" of lift, and so far its worked out PERFECT. Granted I am sure they will sag as I put some miles on it, but nothing adding an extra leaf or whatever wont fix. They wanted me to upgrade to custom springs that cost at least 2x as much that would handle the cummins, but I bet they ride stiff enough to split your teeth.

My thoughts on going with the HD 'regular' springs was I saw a couple guys doing the swap on STOCK big block springs, and while they were definately not happy and negative arched like crazy, it worked. So I would absolutely do it again. 3" Tuff Country HD up front and 2.5" shackle flip in the rear and it sits perfect for my liking.
