Flexes like a mofo. Now its time to clean up the rusty back end and add my shackles.
That will need fixed.
I fixed it then flexed it to find out where I need to put my bump stops.
Droops great.
Now on 35's and a bed.
Soon to have duals and 4.88's.

I like how you put rear leaf springs in the front, that seems like a really economical way to just get the axle underneath the truck, without spending a thousand and a half dollars in special spring packs and lift, besides I like the lift height. Not to massive. Good job!

Considering that I had two knee surgery's at the time it took me like 3 months to acquire, and create the entire build. Kits are a lot easier it seems like, but I thought it was fun making some of my own stuff. I already have different views on what I should have done but it works great.
