iwas wondering about the front suspension, thinking exacly .. wow, that must be hard on front end parts! but now i see you did the right thing Your truck is just so sick!

thanks. it got old, especially when the guy at the parts store knows you by name, and asks which steering component is it today.

so the front leaf springs are 47" long, 8" lift skyjacker softrides, the rears are a 10" pack that came with the whiplash kit and 1.5" block in the rear.
i'm sitting around 11" of lift total.

i'll have to get some pics with the front driveshaft installed and how i got it to clear the shift motor on the np243.
so the swap was done for now.
i decided to try out the dupli color bed armor in the bed.
dont mind the masking job,its all i had at the time.
hit the bed with 80 grit on an orbital sander.
