I think its a great idea. My only concearn would be: What are your expectations of a 2 ton truck with mustang II front suspension? An IFS system that would handle a larger load would be on my list, but the straight axle does great in my lowered 1/2 ton daily driver.

What are your plans for the rear bed/hauler etc?

I keep looking at my 97 low milage Dually sitting under my camper and think " I should build a 1 1/2 or 2 ton flat deck /tool box camper hauler and get rid of the new generation truck" every time I see it.
