-make my own trac bar or find a bent one to keep the stock axle mount so i dont have to cut up the crossmember
-im using my stock coil buckets, but i might lower them for more lift
-going to try to use the 6in TTB coils and make custom mounts to fit them to the axle
- not sure how im doing the radius arms... some people have told me i can use the rough country drop brackets, some have told me that i cant... also im not sure if i need to move them back a few inches or not.


i definitely still need to do some research. is yours 2wd?
yes sir. for now. im lookin to doo as cheap as possible as well. sounds like we have pretty much the same idae asto how we want to do it. im lookin to do 6" rough country springs in the front and in the rear its going to be an inch hear and there with added springs shackle flip and lengthier shackles. may get brave and make my own radious arms. havent made up my mind on the buckets though

yea we got our head on right slampig5sd... all these threads on FSB spend thousands to do a SAS. i might extend the radius arms and make a new crossember like a thread on FSB

Sidewinder- the headlights are illegal too... im not trying to be a rebel or anything but im not taking them out till i have to.

the tail lights pop up on ebay from time to time, kind of lost focus on the truck since i got a ccsb now but i have a little update

i took my weld wheels, clear headlights, and a few interior pieces off and put some black steel wheels on and also tinted the windows... just to keep the stuff i dont want to sell with the truck.
