Now that's what that truck needed.

I'd vote for it now, I just looked silly before.

Are you in need of fender trimming now?

All you need now is to lose the rear blocks and this could possibly be one of my favorites on the site. The new wheels and tires are awesome

all my buddys keep telling me that spooling the front end is a bad idea. They say I won't be able to turn this b**ch when in four wheel drive without at least hydro assist. So I opted for 4.10's so I didn't have to change carryers. Now I'm kicking myself in the ass for it. I ended up welding my rear anyways so I should of just bought two spools and put the gears I wanted in my truck. Lesson learned I guess... is hydro in your future?

Maybe down the road ill go with hydro, but the next step i think im going will be with a V8 swap. But i have a few other thing i want before that.
I hear alot of guys say not to go with a spool too, but i really like having mine in the
front. if i were to do this project again i would still put the spools back in.
