Suzuki TDI Swapped Samurai Truck Conversion

Guess I’m going 17’s!
Got some dodge wheels, ripped off the ugly chrome clad, need to wire wheel, drill the bore, and paint next. Then picked up some Dynapro ATM’s from The Jeep Guy in Lindon.

I have my axle brackets welded on, and am using OEM JK lower rear arms for my links. Rigged up a pan hard bracket from some 1/4 wall steel tube I had, I’ll need to add some spacers yet, and replace my misalignments with safety washers.

As far as steering, I’m wanting to do a y link with replaceable ends, but GM one ton TRE’s are way overkill. I’ve been searching google but found nothing yet, does anybody know of a TRE with a tapered hole for the tie rod besides the GM stuff?

Sitting under its own weight. 156 ppi coils up front from the donor geo tracker, Old Man Emu ARB ‘yota springs in the rear, which have some good arch, probably too much, using stock Sami spring mounts, and some home brew missing link shackles that will need a little more fine tuning yet.
