Hi Guys, MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Ok time to focus.

Been working on my Green Truck.

Got the step notch welded in, Came up with a plan to remove the leaf spring and shackle perches and raise them 6 inches. This mod cost 40 dollars at the local fab shop, they cut 4 6x8 plates, and 8 2x6 plates for me out of 3/16 steel and I welded em up. This gave me 6 inches, the flip kit gave me 6 inches, and the blox added another 1.5 inches, for a total of 13.5 drop from stock. I think the blocks will have to come out but we will see.

You see them clamped on the raised area of the frame in the last pic, and my new 308 rear end lurking down below,

Got to replace the pinion seal, and switch out the 5 lug axles with the stock 6 lug ones out of my old rear end.

HAPPY HOLLIDAYS
