I appreciate it fellas.

I have 1.5" blocks, new U bolts, shims, etc. on the way. The trailing arms were blasted and came out like new. Dad is finishing them up now. We're about ready to start bolting things back up.

When we were taking the brackets off, we kinda chewed them up in places so I just got another set. One of the guys on the forum had a set of the Hotchkis adjustable brackets, so I'm going with them on this truck. That kit is almost $300 from Summit, but you get extra U bolts, shims, and grade 8 bolts .. That I don't need (?) All I need are the brackets I'll get for $50. So, .. saved a little on the whole kit. He was using everything but the front trailing arm brackets, so it just workd out.

I'm just waiting on my bolts and blocks now, next will be the 5 lug swap over and mounting up my rear brakes, wheels, etc.

Dad is working on the initial sanding on my bedwood this morning. Spar coat #1 should go on today (on the backsides first)
