The story

bought this truck for 600 bucks like 5 years ago. it was stock with a halfway blown motor. it was also black!!!!!! I've done everything on it with a bunch of help from many people out there. once you do one thing and wheel it a couple times, you want to completely change it again. this has gone through several changes of lifts with the IFS TTB and now the new setup of solid axle with wristed radius arms. It is running superlifts 6" superflex coils in the front which gives this truck seven inches of lift because of the sas swap. it is pretty flexy for what it is. the rear has some 5 inch lift custum leaf springs with 2 inch blocks. these are extremely flexy leafs. they were built by a off-road shop in colorado springs. the lift blocks are also used as pinion shims to shim up the pinion on this one ton axle. it also has a 3 inch body lift to get it up so we could weld sliders straight to the frame. so far i really like this setup but a Dana 60 could be in the future!!!!! — Ryan Spencer
