Don't think I'll go that route right now since I don't even have extended radius arms yet and just drop brackets, maybe down the round I'll look into the Chevy leafs.
Why do it and spend the $ twice? Im just trying to save you time + $ with my recommendation lol

Drop brackets work fine! Look at my build. And building new radius arms isn't too bad to do either.

Yeah I am now, I was gonna buy a brand new Superrunner steering system then modify it for my 6" lift but I scored one on here that's already done for a 6" lift with 1 ton tie rods. I just got to wait for it to get here now and get tapers for the steering knuckles to accept the GM tie rods.

So I just got my Superruner steering system today, I just need to buy some tie rod ends for it and install it. I'll post pics of it soon.

The BDS coils are not too bad for being a 410 ppi
am getting ready to order these coils....are they stiff? how is the ride? did they give you a true 6 inches?

I've got true 6". they're the softest RBV coil you can get. I need some better shocks for these coils.I might eventually go to jeep coils and use spacers to keep my 6" lift

I'll post some pics soon. I ran into a lil issues with my superrunner system that was modded for 1 ton rods. The GM drag links are too long so I couldn't get enough adjustment for my toe in, I'm gonna have to get dodge 1 tons that i use on the outers as well for the drag links since they have more threads and are a lil bit shorter in length.

Got my steering all aligned at work yesterday and drove it around to make sure everything was good, man what a difference in handling

Save those GM ends... You'll probably need them when you go to put a D35 under there (it's a little wider).

I figured before as much and today we had an 94 explorer come in on trade so I measured the rod end to end and its perfect for the gm and dodge links but not for the lil dana 28

Not too much as of lately, i just got my tax return so I can buy a commuter car so i can do more mods to this, I'm looking into getting some extended radius arms and upgrade the axles this year since I can take my time now.
