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.

Ok so I took her out a little bit earlier today...this is what I got.

Here she is sitting level. Rear axle scooted back just a touch.

Flexed in my buddies ditch lol

Need to do some trimming. I need a more solid from end too

Need longer shocks....those will be ordered next week. I have little more room until im on the overload.....shocks maxed out.

Found snow along the way.

Slid in the ditch and hit a tree



I made a video too....uploaded it to Youtube with my phone....now I cant find it lol Ill get it up tomorrow.

Hope you all like it.

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.
