i finished building the truck took it out and rolled it on its first time out. it was a 83 shortbed and we swapped out a 88 extra cab and bed.  built the suspension out of stuff laying around the shop (NWOR) 4 in. springs in the rear and couldn't get any flex out of them. the fronts are toyota rears and they were doing all the work (they negative arched 3 inches in the front and maxed out both shocks about 15 in. of travel).  All that really happened was i smashed the passenger side pillar cause the front window to shatter.  i found out 2 days later that the previous weekend i had broke my neck diving into shallow water but it is cool i have titanium in there now and should be stronger that the bone :)
