Edit: Just heard back from Jennifer, truck has V6 Dakota springs and Afco shocks with dropped spindles.
Find out what else she is doing to leave that hard. Trans brake? What all did she take off the front end? I want my tires up in the air like that....

This is a customer truck I am doing. They like generation 3 as they are RT fanatics. Curious about drop spindles for this application. Don't like the lower control arm with the altered spring pocket because it changes the geometry in an unfavorable way. I'm hearing some big prices for the spindles though.
The other thing is lightweight lift off hoods that actually fit stock trucks. Pics of front frames as to answer where is it safe to cut weight. Just would like to see some ideas. Already got some plans just would like the added security of seeing what was done in the past.
It's not a backhalf 4-link or ladder bar. But, the framerails are very much modified with caltrac leafs and caltracs. An awesome set of shocks. Trimed down Dana 60 with some nice internals. Truck should turn out nice Holeshot Star wheels true 10.5's . I had nothing to do with the engine so we will just have to see how it runs.
