Chevy spings/BJ spacers on...flex pics!

Hey I finally got my Chevy springs on and my BJ spacers installed...its been a long 6 weeks since I parked my truck due in part to knee surgery and mainly to lack of funds...But now all is better she sits on all 4 wheels again today for the first time in 6 weeks. I made the spring hangers and rear shackles (which I'll be trashing for a single shackle design) got a All-Pro u-bolt flip off pirate and got the springs at the junkyard, BJ spacers are from TRDparts4u. She'll be back in the garage tomorrow or Monday to weld my sliders on, move my rear spring hangers and extend my brake line then will be back in there in a week or so for gears and hopefully a locker. Also in the pics is my new rear bumper that I finished a couple weeks ago and yes I know my front end still doesn't flex for crap.

Naw I think he should put a long travel IFS on the front.

And Mudflaps? Yeah he could use some, but he'd need some mudflap extensions for that height and flex!

BTW, the topper (Canopy) looks sweet on your rig.

I've noticed your truck has come a long way since i joined the forum. Nice rig man, looks good.


If your keeping the stock bumper then get one of these:
