[sm=yikesomg.gif]Wicked, how much will it weigh with the winch in it? May needto put in stronger springs up front or she'll sag. Really nice work, can't wait to see the finished product.

rad, i did it all my self. i work in the steel shop so its easy.

suprisingly it only sagged about a half inch. if it does more im gunna throw a spacer in. ( good excusses to get a few more inches )
im not sure of the exact weight but ill weigh it when im done.

steve, i was kinda conserned about how it would handle with that much weight on the front but i was actually suprised. it handles much better now and doesnt drive like a damn brick and pull ever time i hit a good size pot hole
