Getting closer and closer... Tomorrow I go and pick up my toyota joint for the steering setup (Thanks to Zach for the help) and Also going to get my U-bolts and spring plates (Which came in today but I didn't have time to get there after work). The other thing that should be here tomorrow are my 1-ton TRE's for the tie rod and drag link.
BUT, today my other leaf spring came from Evan so I now have both rear leafs, and my PSC 17mm fitting came... So all that's left really is some odds and ends like the front grade 8 hardware and some new lug nuts all around since some are different sizes (I think).

Welp, got two things left to get:
Banjo bolts - copper washers
Grade 8 hardware
Picked up the right TRE's today along with the u-bolts and spring plates and extra spring bushings from my buddy's shop... Also cut some sleeves for my bushings at work today...
Thinking about going to get my banjo bolts tonight and tomorrow after work going to get the hardware after I figure out exactly what I'll need... People who have run 63's, when you moved the front hangar forward, what size bolts did you use to bolt the hangar back to the frame?? I'm gonna bolt it and also run some small stitches on the outside of the hangar for extra security...
The daily driver should be up and running tonight, I hope, but if not tomorrow for sure.
Tomorrow night, I'll post a list of what I'm using.

theres 2 things i would want. Be able to re-use the stock bumper ( not a fan of fabbed ones). I would have custom springs made locally at Palm Beach spring with a bit more arch to resemble an f350 lift ya know. IMO the flatter leafs look strange. Def like you tho. tru pavement pounder. maybe some sand dunes. no mud or trails. Plus I would do Dual shocks.

duals are garbage, u just need a good shock like a fox 2.5 or a bilstien 7100. keeps the bling factor up and the ride really good. also if you went with an arced spring you would end up really tall. the spring would have to be "flat-ish" but, yeah, get the 5.0 purring then sas that thing!
tre- GET ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More shocks than a dealership carries? Mud trucks are gay and your 2wd which is even gayer. Stick to your fabtech spindles
