Yeah, lost of work cutting all the coil "stuff" and grinding the remains. as far as welding the spring perches in place it was just a matter of measuring right and the leaf pack bolts went right in with no problems. i just made sure everything was aligned well before final welding. everything else was easy. e brake cables are just a little longer than gen ones but the ends are identical! as far as brake lines i just added a coupler between the gen1 and sr brake hoses. i also bought the sr driveshaft and took it apart and welded the sr rear joint to the gen1 shaft. it seems to work perfectly. im happy with it. ill take some pics tomorrow and post just to give a visual on the work, didnt take pics while working. aside from the grinding the swap took me only about 5 hours.

thanks guys for the welcomings.

I also want to remove some weight from the truck. im planning on fabbing up a tube 3rd door, what do you guys think? i would attatch the spare, gas can, and hi lift on it. the stock doors weigh a ton. i noticed it when i took the side doors off to install my tube door that i made long time ago, theyre still on there ill also post some pics.
