97 ton, 460 EFI, E4OD, 3.55 open, shackle flip and reversal, superduty springs all around. 6" in the back with no block at all, 4" front, makes truck level enough till they break in then I can think of zeros to get the right rake if needed.  Need to finish fron brackets, bumper and trans lines.  Close and really want it for the 4th weekend.  More pics to come.[url=http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r535/tennaco/truck_zps747e4c8d.jpg][/URL]

if you can still see the color, you ain't muddin'
the joy of proving people wrong when they say you cant, will never get old

Nope, sorry man that the wife and kid.  He wanted to drive it.  I kinda built this for them.  Before them I had a few mud toys.  Toyota with 383 on 35 boggers, Ranger 408 on 36 TSL, 79' f350 with BB on 38's so I figured they needed to enjoy a good time.  With a stock powertrain it should stay together for the rest of year.  Went through front end with all new joints ( ball and U), bearings seals.  No blocks in the back used 6" spring, shackle flip and made new front drop brackets.  Front is 4" springs with shackle reversal and front drop brackets.  I havent finished the brackets yet but hope to tonight.  They are all welded out jsut need to trim them so they dont look so bad.  They dont sit much below bumper but you can see them.  The cross tie is 2x4x1/4 and will have a receiver mount on it for recovery.

Trans cooler lines and few other odds and ends and she will be ready to burry.  Pulled 30 gallon water tank fron old camper to stick in bed for windshield water but may not get to it for this weekend.  [url=http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r535/tennaco/truckside_zpsa98feca2.jpg][/URL]
