Very nice!

Looking at the trail picture with your rear flexed, it appears that you still have the sway bar on. Do yourself a favor and get rid of that thing. It does nothing for on-road handling and without it, your rear axle can do what it was designed to do off-road.

Keep us updated on your build.

Hah, good. I've removed my front sway bar, as well. Although I'm running aftermarket coilovers with 600lb springs so the impact to driving characteristic was minimal,
