The rear links are comically long, but it'll be fun to see how it ends up. I went with a portal rear to help give them a little more clearance as well. It's definitely gonna take some tweaking to get the mishmash of parts to work together. For instance I need to lengthen the front upper link to get the right pinion angle, and clearance the skid plate so I can flip the lower links to the correct position while slammed. Getting the panhard worked out will be the next headache.
Gearing is a bit extreme as it sits. Even with the underdrive front diff and overdrive rear diff, the portal still puts it at roughly 48% overdrive overall. I already had those differentials for another vehicle, so I'm just gonna run them and see. If it's too much, I'll put one of the diffs to stock, and get the ssd portal overdrive gears to make it roughly 28% overdrive.
I've got pretty much all the parts to finish it, but I'm in no rush. I'll update the parts list as I go. Please feel free to give me any suggestions, or point out any issues I might be missing. Thanks for checking it out!
