How does it ride on the road? I drive mine as much as possible and would like to get a better ride. Cant decide if i should do what you did or go with TG/AP springs.

flatbed is a little wider than I would personally go with, but makes it practical. Overall outcome is awesome

Are you using bumpstops on the front?

Sorry for the delay have been busy

The photo was taken at "The Slab" which is located in Zillah, WA close to Yakima..

We did redrill in the front so axle would only be about 1" forward..

The ride is night & day difference since the swap.. But also installed Recarro seats.. Which also makes a big difference..

& yes, the FB is a little too wide.. Will be making it a little narrower & cutting the cab guard off of it as well.. It's just a matter of finding time..!!

& no.. Am not using any bumpstops

Thanks all for the kind words!! I'm really happy with the way the truck is turning out!!
