| This is something I did a while back. Right before we went to clines in October 2010. Got rid of the bumper ends that my tires kept getting into when at full stuff. I'll get before pics up later. Also a pic of some nice flex. This is the flex that the first time around my springs fell out  notice the custom zip tie coil retainers

| Looks good. What lift kit do you have? Cause it flexes darn good. |

frankenlift...
- your old coils, 3" FT springs
- Rusty's Johnny Joint Adj Front LCA
- BDS front Adj UCA
- Johnny Joint UCA mount on the passenger side - fabbed up by me & my cousin
- 6" extended brakelines
- bilstein 5100 shocks (not sure on length or part#, but they are loooong)
yeah, it seems to work pretty well. thanks to that great flex, i need a new front driveshaft. after one trip and all that flexing, my front driveshaft boot finally bit the dust (transfer side boot, not slip boot), spewd all the grease out and is making some rather unpleasant noises

| Rich, if you have my old springs, are those my old Bilstein shocks as well? |

| nope, bilsteins are Marshall's old ones. They wouldn't work with his new lift after swapping in the Ford D44. They work perfect with my lift tho. No issues with full stuffage and longer than stock droop
