i cant remember off the top of my head. i think you can buy the kit that comes with all the b rackets and front springs. its gonna take some work to install it though. you basicly have to cut your entire front suspention off and start over. and your gonna need to find a front axle. most commen in a Dana 60 out of a Ford. the short tube has to be on the drivers side to accomidate for your T case.

yea with those size tires your deffinitely gonna need to stay with a 1 ton axle, gear low too, 4.10 aint gonna cut it.
