Good looking trucks Tom A and Rx7_dude2003.

Ya Rx7_dude2003 you should do a good thread on all the swap details.

I think 35s will be ok with the current 4.10s, since it has plenty of power now with the 33s.
Same exact situation with me. 35's one day when the funds are there to spend needlessly.

Do you have a thread with all the swap details with technical pics and all?

My SAS thread

Not a lot of details or photos, really. When I get involved in working on something, I hate stopping to write about it and take pictures. Next time, I'll have to have somebody else take pictures of all the cutting, welding, etc.

LOL. Now I remember that thread, I knew there was something out there on it. So how has the leaf spring sliders been doing?

I was concerned that the sliders might wear out quickly, but there's absolutely no sign of ANY wear yet. At the rate I'm going, they'll outlast the rest of the truck. I wouldn't hesitate to use them on anything else I build in the future.

Nah, It's kinda the same thing. Nobody ever thinks to take pics or video. I'm planning on joining a local 4x4 club in the next couple of weeks and they do all kinds of trips, so I should end up with more documentation, lol.
