    Getting there
    I LIKE THAT!!!!!! Effective and well designed


    Super easy..will take some time but not hard....you make new smearing mou ts 8 inches forward,, make shackle hangers off the rear and swap rear springs right off the bat to Chevy 63s....take a leaf out to lower if needed. Lots of travel and easy to tune for leafs with shock valving..
    Longer travel...make 1 cross bar inset shocks onto 8" apart and go to outer ends of axle....most everything above round tube will be angle, square and light weight plate..... .095 on mid tubes and mains .120 wall...weight can be reduced easily and be stronger than hell...

    Hmm yes. After looking into it, I like this spring swap idea.
    I would be doing myself a disservice if I did not swap springs while I was there.
    And the further forward the front spring hanger is the more of the stock frame I can cut off.
