I have got so much info and this forum ( especially the build posts ) has been such a help so I wanted to give something back for future guys.
When I bought the truck almost 2 years ago it was already a reasonably built setup. Long travel Bajakits "Racekit" in the front and caged. The rear was a standard Deaver and King 3.0 combo. The truck has been on many runs and It was one of the first raptors to get a cage. ( that I know of )
Here is some vid I believe shot way back in 2011

Once I got the hang of driving the truck and started watching all the videos online I knew I wanted more out of the rear. I went with a SVC bypass rack adn bumps. It was set up for long trips and is bad ass. Able to carry a cooler or 2 spares and a bunch of other things.
After watching to many youtube videos I realized I wanted to link the truck. I kicked the idea back and forth about spring under, Keeping the bed, Daily driver links. In the end I went for it so that leads us to the current situation.
I talked to a few guy and in the end it made sense to match the rear to the front and Jordan at bajakits was able connect me with some one to do all the extra custom stuff I wanted based off their proven rear end set up. Baja kits was able to have the parts ready when I dropped off my truck so it would cut down the wait.
Few months ago I pulled the trigger and we started ordering parts. Here is what I can recall.
