Yup. The white truck is the bagged show truck and the black one is my work truck. The black one is static with rear helper bags. I've been known to throw 1200 lbs. of wire in the back just for fun.

This weekend I spent prepping the frame for the 2 link, which should be here Thursday. I also stripped the shock towers, rear leaf spring bracket, bump stop brackets and shock tabs on the axle.

I decided to mount the bags to the 2 link bars for a better ride. I had to order the brackets. I did received my 2 link bars and track bar. Installed those today just waiting for the bag brackets.

Not much going on in the last week. I'm still waiting for the rest of the 2 link so I started pulling the interior out. This weekend I took the dash out. I can't believe how many screws hold the thing in.












Next is to pull the rest of the interior including the seat which is going in my black truck. I've been searching for some power leather ones.

Well I finally received the rest of my 2-link parts. This weekend I removed the old axle saddles and welded on the new ones. I was originally going to use the flip kit that was on it, but because of the 2 link bars, it put the pinion angle way off. Also the 2-link bars are narrower than the leaf springs so the bottom plates are too wide, and the old U-bolts are too short. So I ordered the individual parts from Ekstensive Metalworks because their stuff would match. Just recently they've been selling individual parts, and the funny thing is, is now I have a complete flip kit when I just bought one for my black truck.

The 2-link is all bolted in, The U-bolts still need to be cut shorter. Next is the bag mounts.
