Thanks buddy!

did you go with the full width kit or use cj springs and rewelded the springpads

On the rear springs i moved the spring pads in about 3 inchs, on the front i was unable to do that because the Passanger side spring perch is actually apart of the pumpkin. so i outboarded the front springs about 2in from factory mounts. i also moved the front axle forward 4 inchs, since i was needing a new driveshaft anyways, i used 1/4in 3x3 angle with 1/4 gussets, and all grade 8 bolts and welded the mounts to the frame. Ill try and get some pictures up asap. Ruffstuff Specilties has an outboarding kit that i should have bought cause it seems like it would have ALOT less headache!!
