I would sure like to see pics if you have some. Did it developed a bad attitude after the installation, or were you having issues already.

I can say when I originally had 4" lift HD springs in my front it handled great and was really planted to the road. Now I have the Skyjacker Soft Rides and it's kinda mushy for my liking, front end bobs, but it still stays where I put it and tracks nice. I had considered this kit myself awhile back. I was thinking about this because I am contemplating going back to HD front springs.

How's that gear vendor... I'm getting one after I rebuild the 465 and 205! I recently chickened out of buying a used on ebay!

Aside from that hijack I am also interested in finding out about the DIY B-52

The new springs allow for a ton more travel whereas the old springs didn't move at all with a 396, hydraulic winch and a winch bumper up front. The body roll with the new springs was a little too much to get used to. The sway bar from a mid 70s K series got it back under control. Ill try to post a link to my Spring Swap thread.
