Can you post some details on your truck such as springs used and any other brackets/components that weren't custom made? Thanks.
Sure: Coil buckets, brake lines, and everything knuckle out is '79 Bronco. F-250 shock mounts(forget what year). Also used the full size stub shafts and got the inner shafts from Bronco Graveyard(bigger u-joints). The coils are EB 4.5" progressive rate from Bronco Graveyard. I extended my radius arms but you dont have to you can run the stock arms with the stock arm mounts from a late 70s Bronco/F150. You would just have to make a new trans cross member.

Nice truck I where did you get the front driveshaft?
Its my stock front shaft.

Are you running an air filter?
Yes, I closed off the front inlet on the air box and cut a 2 1/2" hole in the back.

Sorry it took so long to reply, my wife and I just bought a house and things are finally slowing down to where we can relax alittle:icon_thumby:

Dont know if it will be cheaper but easier. Leaf spring set ups are pretty simple.

your lug pattern looks the same front and rear. Are you running adapters in back?

Its my daily driver, I only drive about 2 miles one way to work lol but the wear isnt to bad. I'm now running 33" at's for the winter though, the tsl sx's are'nt to road friendly in the cold.

I got the adapters from Spider Trax Offroad.
