You'll be happy with it. I've had mine for just over 2 years now and its awesome. Started off with it only plugged into 110v then got the 220v in the garage. Holy crap what a difference, I was welding 3/8" and it was burning the piece of wood it was sitting on. Have fun with it!

Greasable bushings showed up today. Putting 56" springs in the front and back. The springs have 7 leaves plus overload. I am thinking of removing 2 leaves and keeping overload. I am usually pretty heavy on the throttle. What are you guys running or what do you recommend on the number of leaves to keep the axle from wrapping??

Looking great!
I had multi leaf spring packs in the front of an 84 Blazer I had some years ago. I found leaving all the leafs worked better for me as I have a heavy foot too. I could haul through the woops at Sand Lake without having the Blazer buck or bottom out.

Was just going to leave it for now. I had highsteer but the crossover arm will hit the tierod on compression since I moved my axle forward. I had to put the bent tierod back on so I can steer. The tierod for the highsteer is a bit short to run on the knuckles.
