I believe suggesting drop spindles was helpful as was having more of a frame 'Z'. I didn't want to come off harshly, but the measure-twice cut-once philosophy is what many of the guys in this section preach but sometimes it doesn't seem to reach the intended audience.

Exactly.

So to help others that are considering mods like this in the future . . .... Establish the goal for the vehicle & design/build w/that goal in mind. In other words, don't build it to almost lay-out on 27" tall tires when your goal is to have it lay-out flat on 31" tires (it takes more work).

I can't speak for others, but there's no raggin' on you from my camp. As always, post the pics of the truck once you have it back in your posession

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
