JKS use to make these things..  but they aren't made anymore and I don't know if this guy has old stock or just hasn't updated his web page..

and

JKS ones are NLA....

Up Warrior makes a simple one.. but I like the design on the Currie..



is this something you could build for 1.75" springs..

they only make a 2 or 2.5" spring unit..

Ruff Stuff makes these:



would these be a decent platform to start or easier to make from scratch?
maybe even take 2 and sandwich.. adjust height and box in the sides?

Why not convert to 2.5" leafs? I've heard they're more comfortable.

i can make anything but why not just buy the 2" ones, not like 1/8" is going to do anything between the pack and ubolts.....


starting with ruff stuff plates would be more work, they are bent the wrong way to start.

You know I never really thought about that..  I have been so help bent on finding a good 1.75 I didn't really think about the width difference....
Might order a set and give it a shot.


Sticking with stock width springs in stock locations..  Not going to run much more than a 33-34 tire..

If I do it will become interesting with hi clearance fenders etc...   Only going to get about 3" of suspention lift...

the only plate that might be a little wonky is the one that has the larger ubolt that goes around the front housing.  the Center bolt hole might want to be where it wants to be, but i bet you can fudge it and just crank it down.

Ha.. Don't even have the title figured out yet...  ;)

I bought it because I loved the way it looked at it was a stock hardtop V8 truck...

Everything else is kinda just falling into place....


I don't want this to be the fastest, strongest, tallest... Just a damn cool unique truck where I can sit back and say wow...

Found these in AZ last night...

recovered 10 years ago.. so there are in good shape..
the rear seat is an older ConFer aftermarket seat...

worth the price to have and hold...
