Re: New toy!

Don't underestimate the weight of that frame and the newer axles on that 700r4. You will still be a good bit heavier than a factory pickup that tries the limits of that transmission. You will find the 3/4t front suspension to be very narrow under there. I would try to stay with solid beam medium duty axles and leafs. You can run singles on those axles
