Re: Patina love

I've used WC 3/5 kits on 2 trucks.
Two hints to make this easier on you.
Remove the bed and buy NEW ubolts before you start.
Remove the front cap to do the front work. The front shock relocators are impossibe to put on without the inner fender being out of the way. You will also need to trim the inners to fit around them.
Check out my build thread. Not sure how well I covered it.
I might also add that I would probably consider 2" spindle drop and. 2" springs cause a 3" spring drop puts you on or very close to the bump stop rubber. A 4 would be worse.

Only reason why I was gonna go 4” front is because I got drums and no available spindle drop that I know of
