Bought this truck with what I thought was tranny issues and a couple other little problems. Ended up having a lot more rigs and things done wrong then I ever imagined. And the rear end was toast.
Day I bought it.

So some things that were done wrong
Top plate of flip kit welded to the rear end upside down.
3 different pair of rims Chevy, ford, dodge. Cut springs, rear u joint loose because it is not the right one. Extended one thing rod but made the steering wheel upside down. 1500 rear springs with a leaf helper only on one side so it was leaning..
New tranny

New rear end from an 05 Dually with the springs

Removed broken jump seat and made a sub enclosure centercconsole

How it sits now

How did they do the front suspension? I looked at this truck but didn't have the money at the time. Its something that I have wanted to do to my 1500.
