That is a good idea, something to consider for sure. I believe that’s how BRS does their kits with a 7/8 heim. I got this current idea from the btf arms I had on my ranger.
Grungy brake calipers for the win!
Next on the list is the rear suspension, hopefully in the next few weeks.
Shortly after this trip I pulled it in the garage and got started on the rear. Going along with the trend of being a cheap ass I acquired some leaf springs from tree trunk that for a lifted Cherokee to splice into the stock leafs and of course bought another set of foa’s (raptor shocks are hard to find or just to damn expensive) got all the old shock mounts and spare tire mount cut out and started mocking things up. As expected the shocks are a dumb angle but I don’t care, knowing I can sleep in the back is worth it. 
After this limit strap mounts were pretty quick then had to figure out how to mount the evap canisters. Made a tray for them and attached it to the bottom of the body. Also picked up some ruff stuff lower spring plates and 5/8” u bolts and everything to change over the brake lines to -3. For some reason no one makes an extended brake line for 2nd gen’s or at least I couldn’t find it. Everything went back together quick and hopefully it works better then the blown out rancho 5000’s
Next on the list is build a tire swinger into the stock bumper. Hoping to start on that this weekendYes they are 33s. I believe it’s stock gearing, I haven’t looked to verify. I want to go to 35s but going to require a bunch of cutting to clear them, but as it is now I’m happy with it enough power to cruise pretty good.
