I read your biography you posted from the link. You should know, you have my full respect. I hope you consider writing a book one day. I'm sure it would be an inspiration for many people to always keep hope alive. By the way, sign me up for the first copy if you do.
Can't wait for the final product with your truck either! Goodluck!

You know everyone that is saying this price is high is absolutely crazy. Start actually pricing out these parts, a company to do it, the time the company spends with it. This is not some easy leaf spring setup. I have put 4k in the first leaf spring setup and another 6k when i redid it. Now thats including axles, tires, wheels, springs, metal, steering components, add another 1-2k if i let a shop do it. And thats for a BASIC leaf spring setup. a Good link setup will double that cost easily. So a shop doing a 8k dollar leaf spring sas, would easily push that cost up closer to 20k for a link'd suspension. Then add ALOT of money for the dynatracs, the shocks/springs... and that makes up for the rest of the money.
Could the swap be done for cheaper, yes. Could it be doe for more expensive, im sure it could.

Well, I'll take your silence as an indication that you don't know.
They are the dynatrac axles ready to be installed on my truck next week.
Look at the size of the braking system in the front axle.
The rear.

Very nice.....I am sure this has already been addressed, but are you going to have any issues with that brake setup and your 17" wheels?
