Well here is a new one I picked up today. Going to swap in the running gear and lockers from my 88, the body's perfect on this one. Going to drive this one and do some light Wheeling and build the 88 into a monster. Insert bb here

Swapped the tires, grill, and bumper. looks better already just need to get a windshield banner. sitting a little high in the front with out the motor in yet. Here are some of the used 4 inch lift brackets, powder coated um blue. And I got a set of 63 inch springs a friend is giving me for the rear. All probably have to step up to 33's

got my 63 inch rear springs today. hoping that the motor and tranny are going to push the front down about 3 inches and the 4 inch lift will bring it back perfect. ;D just bolted them to the axle for now just trying to figure out where the perches are going to go. For sure going to need 33's sure are long

That's all I got from the guy, I'm thinking about adding the over load from my original pack. not sure though? OK I cut the original bracket like this, didn't have any spare metal around to fabricate new.(poorboyin it) tacked it up in place the rear at close to full droop the other at full squish this is how I had it in the last 3 photos ran out of wood, a little tippy that's all I could get,(need a fork lift), as you can see the tire was still firmly planted. I'm sure it will drop a few more inches. well let me know how I'm doing, this is my first time doing this 63 inch conversion. So I left every thing just tacked for now in case some one says no, no, no, that's not right.

I dont know man, never messed with leafers but they look good to me. If you have an engine hoist which I am asuming you do cause your engine is missing in some pics, you can use it like a fork lift if you want to test your flex a bit more. Or you can do it the PB way and drive up onto someone elses rig!! LOL

Good eye Jason, will do, but I may have to redo thoughts do to the next pics. Put the 4 inch front brackets on today. Still got to tighten every thing up, and yes, I NO, I need taller jack stands. Was going to paint all the brackets but I ran out of time, plus the first thing I'm going to do is find a deep mud hole to berry it in. I hope that engine is really heavy! or all have to make my rear hangers longer. May have some 31s for sale soon

got my gears today 4.88s would have dry humped the boxes but due to a recent surgery I can't maybe in a few weeks OK OK I was board at work so I powdered my bell hosing purple. Its like a silver with a translucent purple over it. I thought it looked neat, picture does not do it justice. I will also accept it if you think its gay.

If I knew you powder coated I would have ordered my wheels bare and then picked a color insted of just black. Where do you work at? I like the purple, its different. Dont worry about Cards4me she just wishes her wife had a truck so she could wheel
