Thanks guys! The 3rd gen grill wasnt hard at all to put in...doesnt quite line up up with the side markers but you can do some trimming to make them match....I wasnt too worried about it.
Makes me feel good that people are liking my truck.
So I got my 63 spring swap done. Had it done by Creeping Rocks Specialties. Travis did an awesome job! Got it done in half a day.
Few pics
Springs in
Shackle angle is awesome
Re-located shocks....getting longer ones soon.
Ill get some pics of it later sitting flat and flexed.

Found snow along the way.
Slid in the ditch and hit a tree

Dont listen to them. SAS are over rated. Most people that do them havent even taken their IFS to the lmits.
Not to mention your truck will go more places than alot of solid axle rigs.
The springs look pretty good man.

Ditto-I have no plans to SAS my truck but I feel like so many people act as though a solid axle is something you can't do any serious wheeling without.

Yeah Im content with IFS. I like to show up all the solid axle guys when I can go just as many places as them. I think being locked in the front helps make up for lack of arcticulation in the front.
I love these sprnigs so far...havent really tested em yet....I need longer shocks.
