Instead of using washers for the skyjackers we pressed out the spacers from my OEM shocks and they fit perfect.

Before and after rear exhaust resonator delete and adding 18" black chrome exhaust tip. The noise level change is barely noticeable but does sound a little deeper and looks a hell of a lot better.

I need to give a huge thanks to Markmc...he is one hell of a guy and helped me with tons of advise and great products to complete my build. I would highly recommend his products to anyone who is in the market. His customer service is so far above and beyond anything I have ever experienced. Thanks Buddy!!
I also want to thank all the guys on the forum who offered me advise to help with my newbie build and also the creators and moderators of this site...this is a great place to learn the ropes and become an offroad TB addict! I'm now ready to take on the crazy roads and trails here in Costa Rica.
I also want to give a thanks to RockAuto, their online store made my life a lot easier. I ordered tons of spare parts, as they are non-existent here in Costa Rica, and everything was received super fast and as ordered.
