got to work on her a little today. Hung the 56" rear springs. At least in the front. Put the dually back underneath. I put the rear mounts back on and mocked them up without the flip. The 81 springs have more arch than the 71 springs. I will put some weight on it tomorrow to see what i want to do. Looked at the front and will use the old rears for the front. I will just remove the rivets from the rad support and make some brackets to remount the front. I will then move the rear back next to the cab mounts. I didn't take my phone with me today so no new pics. Should end up with about 4" lift front and rear.
