Welcome to the fray.

What kinda SAS suspension you going with?

axle is not under it yet. i just did a 3" body lift homemade sorry $450 for some body pucks hahahaha and an e-fan install....Axle is hp44 from early bronco. I'm using a radius arm with coil springs. As this is her truck not mine it needs to drive nice down road and wouln't be foot to the wood so I'm not going over kill. The radius arms are bcbroncos new arms. Have not yet decided on zj or bronco coils. I have been waiting on radius arms (they are on back order for month just heard ther going to be shipping this week) as it hard to mock up anything with out seeing where things will land with mounts. Have yet to start cutting as I was working on other stuff on tb. I'll snap few pics of truck currently an axle. I will do my best to do a build thread on it. I'm still up in air on steering I've noticed everyone is running toyota box's, however i think with the body lift and e-fan there is enough room for an s10 saginaw sp? box. I have tons of chevy parts laying around (not a toyota fan).

Edit: Axle is 1978 f150 center with chevy flat top knuckles and jeep outer's.

Just so everyone is clear its my old ladys rig so i will be doing things even i'm objective to in this build I.E. auto trac t-case is staying. Axle is getting auto-hubs (currently has slugs just for set-up)
