Just joined, been reading for days. Curious what ive got thats different from stock. What lift do you think is on there now basing on pics? What all looks like its been changed from stock on this thing? I got it cheap, and it runs great, 304, 3 spd, and i think around 4.10 gears based on rpm at 55 (about 2400) with the 32" tires

I really leaning more towards making just a trail rig, I want to move the axles out a little, using leaf springs, comp cut, tube fenders and from what ive read dakota and wagoneer springs will get me the few inches that I want and should do well with a move up to 35's or even 36's

It all looks pretty much stock...except for the massive shackles and the lift springs. Stock 304, Stock narrowtrak axles.
