Super clean looking 2nd gen. Kinda looks like it's already lifted and on bigger tires. Do you know if it is and if so the specs on the tires/lift?

That's a sweet first ride. Your son looks pretty damn happy about it.
That would be one to cherish and keep forever.

3.55 is gear ratio, no "L" in there so it's a regular open differential.
8.8 is the larger ring gear size.

Looks like a stock 28 spline to me.
What up with that spring in the second pic. Does it have a broken leaf?
That steering stabilizer up front looks a little more unlevel than I'm used to seeing. As does the whole tie-rod arrangement. Looks like it already has a drop pitman arm, but could use more drop? Course the camera angle could be messing with my perception. Anybody know who made the axle drop brackets with the alignment adjustment like that?
