You can see on my build if you like, I don't like filling others threads with my pics

Yeah I might look into doing a 56 inch swap or something. I have an extra pair of 56 inch springs that would probably do great on the truck, and will give me a ton of flex which I am not sure if that would be good or not for a DD/Tow rig. But it would save me some money because the lift I was looking at was $700 and I already plan on buying steel for mounting the cummins that i could easily make new mounts for springs.
