Sorry guys I hadn't updated here in a while. B2 has been parked since I last posted an update here and had someone come look at her yesterday to buy her but he backed out an now I'm glad he did. Really don't wanna sell her. She's on 31s now and I might put on that 4" lift I bought for her a while ago and just take off the body lift. Or leave on the body lift, plus the suspension, and put the 33s back on. Anyways here she is now.



Oh and i took her for a spin tonight and while I was driving down the road tonight while this happened..

Holy Cow he lives, i just realized i haven't seen you on here in awhile. You should deffinately keep the BII and drive the thing, beats the gas mileage on the fullsizes lol (not great but better than a V8 Bronco anyways)

And it will be converted to leaf spring. my buddy is gonna make the spring perches for me to weld on the axle, im gonna pick up some steel for the cross members and spring mounts and shackle mounts, for shackles im gonna use the stock ones off my brothers sierra, since he has lift ones. for leafs im gonna use a stock 4x4 ranger leaf pack i got, with a few leafs removed from the pack.
