Looks good!
You may want to look into relocating your rear brake lines through the frame or on the inside of the frame so you clear your rear seat bar bolts.
You can also relocate your steering stabilizer up higher and bolt it to the unused hole on the drag link flip bracket.
I went back and forth contemplating the shock boots in the front and ended up leaving them on. I like the look and the zip ties ended up falling off after the first wheel trip with the lift anyway...so not much gets an opportunity to get stuck in there.
You should also look into shifting your evap skid over slightly so that it clears the rear driveshaft while flexing. Otherwise the boot with hit the skid and tear it open.
Ah, forgot about the steering stabilizer and evap! Thank you. Will do these this weekend. Brake may have to wait a bit.
Shock boots... for now i like the look. guess i can cut the zip tie. I'm NOT taking the front passenger off... that'll be cut off if it comes off. what a pain that was! You find that without the zip tie that the dirt and water come out ok?
looking good, I do run the adjusters flipped around as I've left a few on the trail. it's a easy fix and cheap part but easier to just flip it. I also run bootless, keeps the junk out but also like the look better personally

yea, flip will save good pain down the road, thanks. get your guys points about the boot - i was thinking it kept stuff cleaner, not that it kept dirt in.
I think a lot of guys run the Ranchos without the boot
thanks... keep for now, but can remove later.
thanks guys for all the input
My to-do list reminder:
Short term:
1. Nylock on my front shock bumpstops, if it'll go into the self threaded screw
2. rotate ranchos in front to protect the knob
3. move evap skid
4. flip steering stabilizer to the drag link flip bracket
5. new low back spacing wheels and 35's
6. replace rear sway bar links w/ adjustables, move backs to front (they're stock for now due to factory wheels & no spacers)
7. rear brake lines thru frame / avoid seat bolts
8. weld drag link flip bracket in place
Other:
- investigate bracket (Currie?) for the front upper control arm gusset (passenger side) on the D44.
