Update;

Numbernext,
  No I will not add more support which I do not think it is necessary.  The sliders attach 8 times to the frame. Front bumper as it sits now has 4 and the rear bumper has 5. 17 frame attachment points is plenty plus it will most likely have more than that when all done. If I rip out of the frame I have more problems to worry about than just that.


I have decided to go with all pro springs after all. I was in contact with Alcan and they said if the truck doesn't sit level it was on me. flopp that. So the tried and true All Pros. Everyone I know who runs them are very happy. Anyways leafs are not great even if I spend a grip on them. So why not just buy something that I can sell later when I link it.

I installed the dual cases and transmission to the original 90k engine. Lightly used turbo clutch as well.  I had a clearance issue with the Marlin doubler and the 4wd shift shaft from TG. Not sure if anyone else has encountered the same problem but here are some pictures of the issue.

Her you can see the shaft marked the doubler,

shaft don't fit into doubler releif.

Ground out a lot of material to make it fit.



So her is where I'm at at this point.


Should get the springs next week. Cannot wait to get this project going.
