Hey walkerb ,It is a true 1 ton dually from factory, I put the 3 inch blocks under front to see what it looked like with a simulated 4 inch lift with those 34 inch swampers on there now, But I need 6 cause Im going with 36's.....and if your front end by the pic I'm guessing is not a bud wheel dana 60 use a 1 1/2 spacers and you can use the 16 inch dually rim,nobody will ever know....lol

BIGJWEAVER · 10-20-2010, 02:55 PM

Doin work on the 6 inch rear bumper.....Did the cut out flipped over lay back in for the tag with a 30degree angle...

Dude, again, nice truck.

Yea it started life as a 3/4 diesel. The Dana 60 front is budd style and came with 3 leaf springs and was wondering if I just have to hunt around for leaf packs with more leafs or just go aftermarket.

BIGJWEAVER · 10-20-2010, 03:48 PM

I tell ya walker for the price man aftermarket all day long, 2- 6inch front springs with bushings delivered to my house for $330.00 , I used to cut center pins and and add springs to packs in the past but their just so cheap to buy new , bye the time you fool with building a set.....

BIGJWEAVER · 10-20-2010, 05:59 PM

That is a very tough looking truck. You drive that thru the woods, trees would be jumping out of it's path.

softballnrd27 · 10-21-2010, 02:24 PM

Now all you need is a duramax/nv4500 swap!!

Awesome truck, I want one like it as a "Toy" hauler.
