Progress is looking good dude! I might have missed it, but how much lift are you planning on going with?

trying for around7" if it will end up that tall no tellin.. the bl is long off and on my buddys 2dr now so it will be all suspension. 52" springs up fornt and probably shackle flip rear with the 2inch block now to get it all same height.

this is a budget take so progress isnt that fast. i look around and find deals and when i have axle done and spring hangers ill tear it down and get axle hung then finish the small details. spring is goal to do the swap but if progress moves faster than planned ill do it sooner

so the front axle is prety much done. just waiting on 5 more studs and to cut and weld the tie rod. got the hangers last week too and the exteded ss brake lines.

traded the aluminum 16 inch eagls i had for the front and rear from a ld 2500 so i got the 6 lug 14 with 4.10s to match my front d44. probably going to sell the front diff and the 4.10s i got for the rear 10 bolt.
