My 72 is out of the shop!

Hey guys, this is one of the 'craigslist finds' that was posted in January this year. It was a 6" lift and I just went through the underside - new springs, shocks, new wheels and tires, etc. and dropped it to a more reasonable (for me) 2" lift. When with TuffCountry soft-rider springs, etc. and it doesn't ride like a buckboard anymore

Thought you might want to see it!

Looks like a keeper. I bet you will like the lower lift. Enjoy your ride.

Re: My 72 is out of the shop!

Nice looking truck! I like that stance much better than a 6 inch lift (personal taste I guess). What size tires are you running?
