Think I'll pass, don't wanna carry a stepladder with me everywhere I go....

The rear end looks a little lower. I would hate to buy a truck with 20" of lift and need to but a 2.5" lift block under it.

It doesnt look like you can turn much or compress the suspension very far.

Just because it can be done doesnt mean you should.

**special-K** · 11-09-2009, 08:52 AM

That`s a pretty cool truck to look at.

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-09-2009, 10:39 AM

With leaf springs that tall, you don't have to worry about flex, ask me how I know

BIGphillip79 · 11-09-2009, 05:39 PM

better carry some spare axles with that beast. 60s are tuff but those big arse tires are tuffer.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-09-2009, 06:36 PM

At worst case buy some moser axles and monster u-joints or forged ones and the 60 will take a lot. It's nice to see pics of one of these done. I doubt I'll have mine done for a while. I have mine set similar except I have polished aluminum wheels, more lift, and no spark plugs. LOL I like it.

thirdstreettito · 11-09-2009, 07:36 PM

I'd buy it, sell the suspension and wheels/tires. The give it a 6" lift and 35s. Done.

OrrieG · 11-09-2009, 08:28 PM

Fine print says the front axle needs gears and hubs...minor problem.

onlyifihadachevy · 11-10-2009, 12:55 AM

You could buy it sell the tires, I would keep the wheels I think they are beadlocks, Not sure but they the have some that look pretty much the same that are, if not sell them Get a Junkyard 14bolt too match the front, And you have a good truck. Forgot too mntion take off the springs and put a 6in with 35s.
