Long Arms, and a Belly Up Skid Plate. I personally think the ride quality is way better.

Glad you're happy with it, but it does look like you have a lot hanging down down to catch on. It'll be interesting to read where this goes once there's some scratches down there.

What did you come from? It looks like at least those are JJs, but can't tell from the angles. If you came from an old clevite setup with cracked bushings, anything would be a nicer ride :)

Unfortunately someone "repaired" the frame rails where the skid bolts on and welded in studs, so those do hang down. There is a frame swap in the future.
 
It looks like you were able to reuse the original transmission mount and persuade the muffler to play nice with the new skid plate.
Nice work!

Surprisingly yes, although I do have a 1" body mount lift and 1" motor mount lift in there so that may have helped. The biggest PITA was getting at the rear passenger lower frame side bolt. It's tucked right behind the muffler.
