That abortion belongs to a friend of mine... I gave him hell about how he mounted the bottom of those springs(bolt welded to the 78 coil retainer, not even directly to the bucket... LOL,) they held up for a couple months of sitting in the yard, but, the first time it saw air it ended up as you see it, it spit the pass side coil right out... He did do his steering properly though...
It's now sitting on a F250 chassis with 44's under it bolted to an old school 44HD, awaiting a D60 for the front....

If you can't fit in a front drive shaft ..... reconsider using stock axles. Bacause nothing screams "I'm 'tarded" like a missing drive shaft.

Truckin, if you ever get over the the Tech campus you can see some great POS lifts under all the rich fratties trucks. I need to carry a camera around with me, just because there's so much crap sitting in the dorm parking lots. Gotta love 37s with IFS.

I want to get pictures of a SD I've seen in Lubbock, looks like a 250 with 53's mounted on 20's, stock axles, stock brakes, no front shaft, and stacked rear blocks (4 inchers over the stock 2 inchers), add-a-leaf until the packs are 8 inches thick ,and chitty custom chrome flames on the underside of the cab. I'm guessing he didn't regear it either. This tops the Dodge that had stacked front coil spacers, stacked rear blocks, no front shaft, and stock axles/brakes.
