Damn....but that's what you had to do.

$1300 for a full parts truck isn't bad, as long as mechanically everything is there and mostly working.

Just wish it was a manual, but alas that would be too perfect

EDIT: Talked to him, he verified that they are disc brakes all the way around


EDIT EDIT: offered him 1000. He accepted ....

sweet find you can get all your wanted parts and then make money off of the stuff you don't need

I would suggest since it is a complete truck to use the 3 inch leafs simply cut the front hangers off the frame and remove the shackle mounts by cutting the rivets out.

to install cut the front mounts off your frame and weld the other ones on and bolt the rear shackle mount on there the rivets were do not weld the rear incase you want to remove later.

I believe the rear axle had a sway bar in 02 do not bother putting it on your truck

good luck on the install and please post lots of pics

Cheers

Definitely going with the springs. That was a big factor in deciding to find a parts truck instead of just axles. Lookin forward to that brake upgrade too

Ill post plenty of pics also
