That thing is a monster, thats amazing. How does it handle? How difficult was it to do that conversion? That looks like it is well constructed and I would like to compliment whoever did that work. One final question, when will you get videos?

It handles awesome, it drives better now than it did with the fabtech 6inch, and 37's. All the custom work was done by Blue Torch Fab Works in Dothan, AL, www.bluetorchfab.com, Arguably one of the best offroad fabrication shops in the country, perhaps you have heard of the Red Bull rockcrawling team. It took several months to build getting past the electonics and getting the parts to do the build, since it has only been done a few times, and only for show trucks never for a real offroad susp. This trucks has been built to be abused and I plan on it very soon, Ive been itching to go bang it up since I picked it up last week.

What kind of gears are you running with the 41's? Could you tell me a little more about the 3 transfer case shifters? What exactly do they do?

I am sure it is a flex monster though. Nice touch going with the hydro also

5.38s, I have a monster box 3 speed transfer case, www.stak4x4.com , the three levers give me rwd, fwd, rwh, rwl, fwh, fwl, also 3:1 and 5:1 ratios, the transfer case allows me to have an extremely low gear to crawl over about any thing, just read the website
