I kinda like mine with the hoopdie stock suspension. Granted, it has a disc brake conversion and the box and whatnot needs work, but it's fun.

Ax is right, those articles are invaluable; it was the article on suspensions that convinced me not to get an IFS.

Welcome and enjoy!

I have to admit she's been a lot better about the truck since I got it painted. Now what i get is "when is going to be done?".
