    Didn't swap the axle. We cut all the stock stuff off and welded new components on.

    Need to find some fab shops in the panhandle area....shock relocation is so enticing.

    What rear shock did you end up with?

    Looks well done! ...but... what's the benefit of this over just getting a custom leaf pack from Deaver and relocate the shocks?

    Longer leaf springs with shackles. Better ride quality and load bearing. These are a 3+1 leaf pack.

    Have ever looked closely at your stock spring hangers? There's not much holding them in place.

    No limit straps yet, don't think I will need them. My buddy that has them hasn't needed them yet as the springs seem to flex out before the shock bottoms.

    Bumps are wheelers super bumps.
