As you've probably noticed from the wheels, I'm putting half ton suspension under the truck. I bought a rolling chassis off craigslist for $100, and stripped it to the rails. I'll be using the upper and lower arms, the rear axle, and possibly the crossmember (if I end up sectioning it). I don't really have the extra cash for aftermarket control arms, so I decided to step my lowers 2". Also went through and put new Moog bushings and balljoints in the uppers and lowers.
Halfway cleaned up:
Nose cut off:
1/4" Plate for the step:
Stepped and welded:
Gussets added:
Uppers with new hardware and paint:
