 Pretty basic static drop for now. Unsure if I'll do full bag swap or just helpers @ this point. The plan was full swap but it sits good & it's nice not having to clearance the bejeezus out of everything. It high centered this past weekend pulling that load in the pic as it sits. Heavier loads will need some help.

Re: 2wd swap
This is the '91 3500 you helped me with.
350 4spd now with a 3.08 10 bolt. Went ghetto tho reamed 1/2 stock spindles for the 3500 ball joints Clipped 2 coils and new axle pads cause a flip wouldn't with 3500 spring hangers. I bought when the b-i-l spun out on meth and since sold it to a neighbor

Re: 2wd swap
I just welded the ends of the flip brackets to the leaf pads on the housing. Kept them from moving. Did the welds where I could easily buzz it off if/when desired.
