Oh and have a Eaton Detroit Locker for the 14 bolt rear and new springs from General Spring on the way!

Since I want this for towing, went with 4 leaf front springs (1900 lb capacity) and 8/1 56" (3500 lb capacity) leafs for the rear. Was a little surprised that my truck had 56" springs but I measured at least 3 times to confirm. I'll snag a pic later but the front springs have a pretty nasty negative bend in the by the front eye.

Also got a YesWelder on sale for Black Friday so hopefully can get some patch panels ordered at some point and get some of these holes patched up.

It's coming along!
