hot damn I got some pics posted, sorry they went in without explanation but I will get to that
pis's 1,2 and 3 were my truck after the 2wd suspension was removed
I had already put the 4wd rear and trans/transfer case in
pic 4 shows my bronze bushings the one on the left is what I got off ebay the center one is for the front of the rear 84 spring that I used in the front of my truck the next one went in all the other springs
the rear 86 springs use the same size bushing as the shackles so I had 2 of the center bushings and 10 of the other smaller bushings, and on the right is one of the shackles
the next pic shows the springs out of the 84 the top is the rear 3000# with the bushings installed and the bottom is the front 2400# spring, I put the rears in the front and the front in the trash
next pic is after the 3" body lift
then a mock up pic on the front
then a pic of the new front crossmember / hitch / spring hanger before it was welded and braced
and then the parking brake
oh is that a solid front axle in there
lets see, shock hoops, steering box, then a pic before final welding on the crossmember
couldn't seem to get that torque rod to fit on the left so we put it on the right
the last pic was supposed to be my truck sitting on all four tires but for some reason the front end got choped off
