thanks man.

what size are the TSL's in the picture? Your truck can definitely out flex mine. I havent tried much just a few small tests really. But with my huge arched springs i doubt it will do much.

Im gonna do a shackle flip in the back and get rid of my 6" block, then it will be 12" springs + shackles and maybe a SMALL block.

My axle warp is horrid with the big block, its gonna be worse with the shackle flip, so im gonna make up some traction bars. Farmboy Fabrications sells traction bars for this truck so i might go that route.

The 5.38's impressed me, my 40's wont last long it i dont keep my foot out of the pedal. Smokes em if i step on it too hard.

There was a white H2 running around town here or a while that has a very similar situation. He got pulled over quite a few times as I have heard to have the cops check it with a tape, but them mainly to check it all out. I cannot wait to see this v6 turn over some 40s.

Power steering pump went bye bye. But besides that the truck was up to 70 MPH without any issues. Speedo says around 90ish at that speed hahaha.

Might have some pictures tomorrow!
