You built the truck GM needed to, this is exactly how 3/4 tons should of come off the line

thanks for all the compliments



thanks baw!... i got the spring plates from DIY4X and i got the U-bolts from a local spring shop, i think ruffstuff specialties sells package deals if you wanted to go that route. the ruffstuff ones arent slotted like mine but they are drilled out in a couple places, give ole dan at ruffstuff a call and see what he has to say



its actually not really as hard as some people make it sound... if you get all your parts ready before you tear into the truck its easier and faster than doing an IFS lift imo

Thanks, I'll give him a call. Looks like they have a dana 60 kit on the website for just what I want so I'm sure he can set me up with something that will work.

Truck looks better on 35s, seems to be missing a handful of wheel studs though! haha

ya i know that its not to hard to do a leaf setup but its the money that becomes the problem....and being able to find parts that arent total junk to begin with and having to rebuild and buy new everything

i would love to someday sas my truck but idk if it will ever happen

if you find the right deals on parts its really not that expensive... i started out with a 3/4 ton already so that helps but i will have $2800 into my swap once i regear and put new wheel bearings in the d44, thats including what i paid for the tires and to have them mounted

ya its not to bad if you get deals on stuff...but its so hard to find anything around me that isnt way overpriced for junk

i have seen people do it for under 3k but i still dont have that kinda money

instead i will just buy a jeep this weekend to satisfy my needs for now

Looks good man! Love to have my dually runnin sas. Problem is I don't think my wallet would let it go very far, LOL!

 

[squeaky3]

makes me so jealous

Hey Cajun, what kit did you use to do the swap? Is your front axle a factory 3/4 ton ford axle with chevy 8lug outers?
