She's a beaut! Good grab and great progress so far. Maybe shackles and hangers in the rear to help tame that tail high heavy duty chassis? Regardless, that's a great looking rig and I'm jealous.
Thanks! I am going to remove the overload spring and maybe a couple more small leafs? I'd slam 4/6 it but my 16 year old says he'd like to drive it some and doesn't like 'em low. We'll see on that. The white letter Gods came through today. I debated size forever. It came to 255/70 (too big) or 275/60 (too wide). I settled on 235/70 which should go with the 15x7's. If they were 8" wide I would have gone with the 275's.
