It is a 8" skyjackerlift softride all spring no blocks. Also had a 3" body lift that is not on it now, but will have to go back on or make some suspension changes to keep the tire from hitting those new fenders. The wheels are weld super singles 16.5" x 14" with 39" x 18 MT Baja's for now.

Here is a link to my build on CK5

I went to my brother-n-law's yesterday, he was'nt home but this is the latest toy he has bought. I thought this was as cool as his 350 small block power'd JD lawn mower. I don't know any detail's, just thought I'd share the picture's. some one here very well recognize the truck and shed some light on detail's

Four wheel steer is very intriguing to me and I'm not trying to critique the truck, but I have an honest question. If you have a front diff in the rear of your truck so as to have rear steer, wouldn't it screw up the caster to angle the pinion up like that?? Or can you keep stock caster angle and just rotate the diff on the axle tubes??

PS, nice truck!

good question, I am not sure, your idea of rotating the diff seem's logical. I alway's wounder'd how the ring and pinion would hold up turn'n in a revers rotation as much as that would,I would think the best solution would be to put them axle tube's in rear diff house'n. in my brother-n-law's case it wont get driven very much, he's more of a collector ! I should do a separate post on some of the cool/odd vehicle's he has.
