Cool! I still have plenty of 1/4" sheet so I'll just get out the cutoff wheel again and start cutting away.

Do you know which page in the thread it is? I saw 17 pages of postings. What I read was fascinating.

Thanks for the direction. I see them now. That guy's really awesome. Such a huge project and he's doing a great job of it as well as documenting it.

blocks are scary...
I removed the 1" blocks that were causing axle wrap
I picked up a set of hummer h3 springs, cut the shackle ends off and added them with my one stock leaf. using 07 tundra u bolts
4" lift , safe, under $200 bucks

That's a nice installation there. Did the H3 springs have the same center offset like the T100's?

I notice that your parking brake cable is rubbing on
the springs. Is that going to be a problem eventually?

I think I'm going to keep going down the Chevy spring path since I'm pretty far down it already.

I got the hangers tack welded in place this weekend and am
waiting for the welder to have some time to come by. It snowed last night so this morning was out. Since he won't be by for a while I think I'll bring the axle in the garage
and patch up the perches with the 1/4" plate like Eric said
earlier.
