Decided to go with a "Gentleman's Pro Touring" type suspension/set-up. Want a truck that handles well and is predictable... something to get in and just drive. Still need to final mount the Boyd fuel tank (and CAD a skidplate), make a few brackets for the frame stiffner/trans mount and do a final weld-out after mock up. Will be taking chassis to powder at end of next week.
Pic doesn't look like much but a lot has gotten to this point...
