[QUOTE="BlueOvalF22, post: 1551504, member: 43002"] The frame is actually in pretty good shape. Just light rust at lower side welds, really light. I'll clean off the rust from the belly of the bed while everything is drooped down out of my way. [IMG]https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/121609717_10157777841553660_4465523093088214147_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&_nc_sid=0debeb&_nc_ohc=FPvM0ydU6S8AX86YfCq&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.xx&oh=1dde49829b04e43fabbcaa9de0404bd0&oe=5FAF8CCB[/IMG] Supported on a jack and pulling the U bolts made the leaf spring bolts easy. The cordless sawzall was needed at the front driver's side bolt.

The diff cast area is white/grey because of the rust dissolver I still need to rinse off. I'm going to do a diff cover later but want to refinish anything that is staying.

I also have SVC track bars. The rear shocks are going to be 3.5" x 18" 5 tube Kings. I picked up the parts to convert the purple Pitsburg to a pro-eagle lift plate, also the extension mount bracket and the 15-inch extension. I found Hella replacement HID lens/reflector modules at Summit and I have a set of ballasts and bulbs. I'll need to do some fab work to get them to drop into the hella halogen light bodies but it's doable. So quad hella HID Rallye series... Brightness with a long bomb throw with just two was awesome.
