Rear Suspension Re Done *Pics*

Well i have been deployed as some of you all know about already and if not then you know now lol. Heres what im getting done to the truck. So thats why i havent been around to getting the truck finished or anything started as its been sitting in storage.

-11inch custom leaf springs
-Spring Perches welded to the axle
-Custom rear driveshaft upgraded with 1 ton u joints and all that good stuff( front will be done later )
-Exhaust might be getting re routed.

Next Mods when money hits will be:
-Kings up front with resi
-Camberg or Total Kasos UCA's
- Rear shocks prob kings, foxs, or bilsteins with resi
-Bedliner
-Other stuff

Heres a picture of the truck now and will get new pictures as the work is getting done. Should only take a day or 2 to complete it so be patient with pictures. Im just happy its getting done and wanted to get a thread going already haha.

Leaf springs were like 1k, and drive shaft for the rear got it done for $400. I spent more money than i wnated just because i wanted it done and especially bc im deployed i just wanted to be more complete by time i got home. But i think they are deaver or atlas. Not sure man gotta ask again. But i can let you all know hwen i get back and be more than welcome to get a truck gathering on to get together with a lot of guys

40/41. Plan on having some room left in the wheel well for some flexing but nothing big. Dont want to break anything else either. Plan on getting this bad boy all finished and either keeping it for a sunday driver or selling it. I got less than 60k on this 2005 anyways. Still got lots of life.
