so I got a new frame, but made more work for myself cause I got a 2wd frame. oh well. too late now. lots of grade 8 bolts later.
taking it apart.
also ended up getting some 60" springs from a 99 model 3/4 ton suburban. just to be different. we'll see how it rides.
had to move the spring hangers 4" forward.
also putting an 03 silverado 2500 disk rear in.
