Test fit the 35s
They clear the rear fine but the front is turned as far as it can go...
i ordered a drop hanger to move the axle forward as well as shackles for both front and rear

immediate plan is to move the axle forward 1.5" and use the stock push pull and just shorten the drag link to match and go crossover steering as soon as I find a IFS steering box

Since you can weld a lot of folks will recommend 63s in the rear. I've seen video of people using them and they flex so crazy. The rears up front flex good too. I have read that the trail gear front spring hanger will lift your front because of its design. I like following threads where dudes do their own fabrication, it's interesting

I am am going to do my own welding but will save time and use pre made brackets/tabs since I don't have a torch or drill press.
the TG drop hanger does a some height but not much,it drops 1" but in reality only lifts the truck .5". But helps with steering box clearance with the ifs steering box.
i have 2 sets of rears I want to use to make a front pack but just need time to get to the junk yard for some chevy springs if I go that route then I would use ruff stuff hangers to help keep it low.
but mostly want to do all I can to prevent having to cut up the clean sheet metal.

Long time since an update but I received my TG 4.7 tcase gears and got the truck moved to better suited work area at a friends house..
but out on top of that the truck isn't running right so it will need some more tuning
pics to follow
