'75 frame, '83 cab, '88 clip, 6 inch suspesion lift, 3 inch body. 35x16x15 boggers on 10 inch wide white spokes. Needed longer brake lines, spacers for the sway bar, drive shaft binds sometimes, lengthen the shifting linkage cause of the 3 inch body lift, raised steering arm needed, probably also need a dropped pitman arm or a drag link with a correction.
