ok sounds way newbie here but can i do that with my pu? or only with a runner? relocating the shocks on the rear? i'm not talking about swapping out chev springs. (i know i can do that) i've seen shocks mounted there in many rigs where they are set more to the middle rather than mounting right under wheel well.. haha sorry always wondered about this and didn't know. thanks, ryan

I'm probably going to end up taking the over-load spings out and have someone put a little more arch in the other three.

Are the rear shackle mounts in the stock placement or are they moved back? How long are those shackles?

I've heard both sides of the story. Some say you need a 3 inch lift in the front and others say no lift in the front. And your rig would be level with the chevies?

Looks Good!
