8"springs 2.5" hangers up front and 5" springs w/5" blocks in rear. It's my friends truck and he pulls a 28 skater with it. The fender cutouts I stretchced a little more than called for and trimmed the factory bumper.

This truck i made the rear flares for and is running 49" Iroks but the tires ride decent once warm but would not tow much with it.

Nice !!! That's kind of what I have in mind. I was thinking of the Donhue 4.5" Drops in the front. I already have the 8" Fabtech Spring's in front and the 4" Springs with block in rear. Did you do anything with steering? Dave

Go with the crossover steeering to help with the bumps in the road and definately dual stabilizers.

That will probably be my next big investment on mine. I have dual stabilizers, could even add a third if I used the stock mount but the crossover steering all but eliminates the bump steer.
