where did you get your new perches and top plates? my local offroad shop is out of them at the moment so i might as well order some.
do you think the rear hanger will interfere with using a modified drop hitch or bumper brackets? i'm wondering if i should use my 2000 model springs for better clearance?
anyways nice truck and pit! my pits 15 yrs old and always been a great shop dog,rick

Rick,
My last post kind of described the issues that I had with the bumper brackets. Not sure if you have the same kind. As far as the drop hitch, I got mine with the fuel tank and skid plate from an '89 Blazer. The hitch went on fine although the bottom bracket of the shackle did make it necessary to shim the back half of the hitch down 1/4". Having the tank in at that time made those bolts a PITA to install even with the bed off! lol. The top spring plates were from Ruff Stuff in Roseville, as were the u bolts. Top quality and fast ship. The spring perches were Summit but I got them before I found R.S. He has them too.
I just checked out your build. Nice work. Looks like its coming together pretty fast. Gonna be a great ride when its done! Keep up the great work.
