It does feel high as crap even at this ride height when putting around our property..I'm pretty sure most of this has to do with how smooth it is. All my previous rigs were cool, pretty capable but rode like straight up ass lol

Front end done done..like you ain't going back on jack stands till you break something good lol.
Sure enough I had little binding on front yoke with shock 2" away from full drop. With a little grinding on both yokes, free and clear. First time ever on my personal rig that I went through all this work to make sure no binding..(ya dummy)

You’re one step above me the John. My front has a limit strap on one side despite having ORIs because my low pinion 60 will bind the drive shaft. Lol

I admit I'm shocked I could get full travel out of these 16" shocks without being at a crazy high ride height

You may be money ahead to do double sheer on those limit strap bolts.
It's coming along though! Warn makes nice replacement lockouts for when one of those stock Ford hubs blow out.

Yes! I broke 3 back to back to back. 2 in the same trip. I even had a “guard” over then that David made before I bought it. Didn’t matter.
I wound up drilling out the square hole with a step bit to 5/8 and put a regular rubber balance stem in when I had them apart to do the rock rings. Never had an issue again

They held up to V10s and 6.0 diesels. I don't think the sub 300 horsepower of a 302 is going to destroy things that quickly. Gearing? More likely. I'm betting a few other things would break before anything in that front axle does though.
Also...this...the more important part of what I posted earlier

maaaaan, seriously?? lol, all jokes aside, is that really necessary? I mean I get the whole "importance" of limit straps but it has like 1000lb of force on it maybe unless I'm missing something and this is the one place I didn't think to "overkill" like I usually would. Dand it, just when I thought front end was completely done, now you gotta tell me somethin else..bruh LMBO
