i really like your truck man. all too often i get caught up in "bigger is better" syndrome, which so far has resulted three half built trucks, and being without a 4wd for a year and half.

your truck inspires me to keep it mild until i actually need it bigger/more extreme.

Thanks! I think that is the very first time I have ever heard this truck called "inspiring"! There are definitely some things I would have done much differently, and there are many changes to come, but it is not bad for what it is.

sorry to keep intruding on your thread but I am curious to know how you like the ride of your custom built front leaf pack compared to before... Im looking to do the same on my 81 to fix the neg arch but not lift it to much just enough to level with the rear

They work great for my purposes. They ride much smoother, mainly because I am not bottoming out the suspension over EVERY SINGLE BUMP in the road like I did before I modified the spring packs. They flex decently for what they are as well.
