Any chance you have a link to your pictures, this sounds like an epic build and I'd love to leaf through some photos if they are available anywhere. Thanks

Cool thread, have you kept going with the truck? I'm curious what you ended up doing for the brace if you took pictures. thanks

I'm running a new set of 52" long rear leaf springs upfront, theyre made for a 80s 4wd chevy k10, they ride awesome, and they were cheap. You can find them for less than 100 bucks a spring pack online or on craigslist for 80 bucks for both like I did !

Thanks! I've never towed with it but i have towed with other trucks with a shackle flip and they did just fine. Got a thread going on you new one yet?

Like I said I'm no good at keeping these threads up to date, Since i last updated i've gone to Rausch once and added sliders bump stops limit straps and some lights and other misc things that needed done but other than that its been sitting. Between work and family stuff i've barely touched it...

The Off Road Design Kit is excellent, i was torn between fabworx and ORD but ORD has always taken care of me in the past and they know their stuff so they won out. Thanks! I'm planing on running the tbi 350 for now, with the 5.13s it has plenty of get up and go but there are back burner plans...

I'm far along now on my current build that I thought i'd share my progress and start updating as i wrap thing up on the rig and make it more streetable and expo ready, as well as get some opinions on good storage and sleeping arrangements for it. Current Specs: 94 K1500 Blazer TBI 350 4l60...

Its very cool to see all the places you've gone and I love your old dodge. I also had a few quick questions on your paint: Did you thin it or add anything to it (hardener, ect.) How long was the dry time How many coats What did you use to cut in.

After reading your thread i'm leaning toward recommending a full size blazer. Chevy has excellent parts swapping and for the most part are cheap to build and maintain. I built my 1st chevy for camping and offroading for less than 3000 and I loved it (granted it has since snow-balled into a 15K...

Not the best pic of them but you get the idea, mine are welded to the frame with 3 legs supporting them, i have hit them pretty goo and so far no deflection or movement.
