Yup in the process of it. A lot of work removing the front two cross members and planning the rework of them. The big one is the trans support and figuring out how to mount the tc up there. A lot of fab work coming up

Are you 3 linking the front?
   What side are you running the upper arm on?
    Are you trussing the diff?
    What kind of joints are you using?
..... I'm geeking out. So many questions..
   What length shock are you running?
    What kind of steering box are you using? Going Hydro?
   What size tires will you be running.
   Will you be building your own frnt drive shaft tunnel?
    Did you get a bender?
    How thick will the arms be?
    Will you be removing the body lift?

I'm just getting warmed up....
What's you vertical separation at the diff? At the frame?
What length will the upper and lower arms be?

Shall I go on?

Yup custom front and rear ones. There's a shop in oceanside that's will be them for me and will be able to reuse some of the rear to save cost a little
