Looking good. What do you have planned for mods so far?
It's looking like the restoration phase is going to take me a while, hopefully I can get it driveable by spring/early summer. I'm planning to clean up all the rot, rebuild axles, some tune-up type stuff, regear 4.88's. Maybe marlin 4.7 in transfer case, not wanting to go duals just yet. All the great advice has my head spinning with springs. I like what the guys here say about f150 leafs, may start with some stock length junkyard packs & see if I can't find a good setup.
I'm going to keep it as low as possible, plenty of rust around the fenders so might as well trim em & keep it lower. Going to run an ausie locker in the rear, e-locker or arb up front (may do that down the road.) Want to try out the 34x9x16 TSL's, I think tall & skinny will work awesome out here & be easier to fit.
Planning to run the monroe or gabriel airshocks, with in cab controls to link/unlink the front pair/ rear pair, or adjust each individually. Sliders from somewhere & custome bumpers, I have a few ideas there. Budbuilt crossmember, OBA and I think that'll get me started.
Thinking I'll end up with a nicely balanced rig, OK for a DD so I can sell my 97 but a lot more capable than stock offroad.
