great first truck, the front end is done , now just work on the rest of the truck slowly and you'll have a bi$%@ truck in no time! Congrats

Well I've finally made progress on my truck! Installed Deaver springs in the rear with bilstein bypasses. It's a spring under setup. I notched and boxed the frame to allow for as much up travel as possible. A simple bed cage ties everything together. I'm running 37 Toyos on 17" method double standards. The rear axle is a 9" trussed with 35 spline Dutchman axles and 5/8 studs. Still have a lot of work to do and years of tinkering....not to mention the $$$$$!!! Still have cone hubs to fab up on the front and a ton of suspension tuning. I'll try an post on here more often now that I can see progress being made.

Good looking truck. Lets see some pics of the rear. Im curious to see the spring under set up. Did it all mount in the stock location?

This is the only pic I could find at the moment. I'll try and find some others. And yes the leaf springs are in the stock position.
