Here are two picks of what i have so far. Look at my sig for details. I also just picked up some large tow hooks and 63" chevies. Will hopefully get them before the end of summer rolls around. Driving my truck around with the leaf spring riding on the overloads kills my back right now.

Here's my 88 toy 2wd.. Pretty much bone stock. Just dumped about $900 in repairs into the truck, so I've made the decision to turn it into a budget beater. The plan is to do this as cheap as possible. Crank the torsion bars, put in some 1.5" BJ spacers, and some shackles out back. Re-use my 15" factory jeep wheels (cuz 14" rims suck)... And buy some re-tread tires for it... I have a bashed in pass. side front fender, so the plan is to replace both fenders with junkyard 4x4 fenders to give me a little more front clearance...

On a side note, I didn't know they made BJ spacers for those trucks?
