You used a 2wd cab is this why you used a body lift to clear the transfer case. How much lift do you need to use? I will be doin the same because my 2wd cab is like mint.

I had some 3" BL blocks laying around so it was a quick solution to my problem. Although Ive never measured to see how much clearance I actually need, the 3" blocks provide more than enough room. Im willing to guess you shouldnt need much more than an inch.

Thanks ,as for the mass swapping of parts. All my decisions revolved around money I got smoking deals on all the trucks Ive brought home. Everytime I brought one home the parts seem to get better and be in better shape than what I had. So naturally I used the better parts, where Im sitting now is where I want it to be so there wont be anymore changing .... just improving. And Ive been keeping my eye out for a D60 for a long time but there $$$ and getting hard to find, it seems those who have them are holding on to them.
