I figured it was time to explane some of these pictures. hear is what i managed to do this last week. Oh ya total cost to me $$$$$000000000.

First step was up grade my junk blown up semi float 14bolt. This was upgraded to a full float 14 bolt 4;11 gears and a trash lock.


Second rear shackle flip this netted me about 5" of lift

Then on to the front suspension witch will get a DIY4x4 b52kit but for now its a (bastard pack) That uses a stock main leaf and 3 leafs from a 56" 3/4 ton leaf pack.

I mounted my brush guard about a month ago. This brush guard was to be used with my stock bumper well that was bent to much. With my old Sonoma front bumper and some 3/16 plate I came up with this.

So you added leaves from your rear 56 pack to a stock front leaf pack? How much lift did you get out of that and how does it ride?

I'd thought about doing this myself, but i wasn't sure about putting the neg arch front springs into positive arch. You'll have to let me know how it works out while you wait on your 52s
