Thanks, Elcoy! Good luck with your build. This forum board has lots of resources and lot's of guys offering insights and help.

As far as the leaf springs, I sure hope those are not 2.5" in lift springs. I'm going for a stock look. I did order new leaf springs from General Spring KC, but I'm pretty sure they are factory replacement, except they are not tapered like the originals.

yes, those are 31's.
