I picked up an 85 xtra cab about a year ago. It has RUFs, rock assault front housing, lock right 5.29s front and rear, IFS rear end, and 35 km2s. IT started out with rufs on the stock spring hanger and a shackle hanger welded on the bottom of the frame, chevies in the rear, 5.29s in the rear and stock 4.10s in the rear with the frame height around 25.5". I now have it down to 22 1/4" in the front, and 21 3/4 in the rear. Im gettign read to dove and bob the rear so i can fit my 40s
Ill have some action shots soon and this is my first build so feel free to give me some input or critiques.

Haha yeah it does i think its the picture, everything was cherry when i got my alignment. The backspacing combined with the rock assault housing kicked it out quite a bit

I can't claim any of the hard work, I bought it this way.
Chevy 350ci conversion
Holley projection throttle body fuel injection
Novak adapter
NV3500 transmission
Alcan 5” leaf springs
Solid front axle (85)
ARB air lockers front and rear
Longfield axles in the front, stock in the rear.
Bilstein remote reservoir shocks in the front with custom shock hoops.

Just an amazing find. I'm also curious what that set you back, but I totally understand if you don't want to answer that. Those are hard to find done properly. and this sounds like it was for the most part to me. Time will tell, but that is one beautiful truck that will climb the freaking heck out of anything! Action shots soon! By the way, that thing is beautiful, so be careful on the trails with all that extra power... Never thought I would roll after 25 years of Wheeling... And what do you know? Lol. And mine didn't even have a 350 in it! Lol.
