I am now seriously thinking about scrapping the IRS that I had going, when I add up the parts to rebuild it, it's getting right there with the cost of the dropped axle with new springs and hardware. And it would be MUCH less work, I am thinking..................

I'll give you a piece of advice I found here on the forums. Hope it Helps.

"ask yourself what are your expectations on driving this truck. What will you be using it for? If it's daily driver down the freeway at 70, do the frame "swap." If it's towing a boat through the mountains, do the frame "swap." "



But seriously! whats your end goal? Driver?
