Default Work in progress

Installed rear shocks and add-a-leaf over weekend. Next weekend front shocks and steering stabilizer. Also cranked t-bars up about an inch. Little bit at a time . Then eventually some new 285/75 tires

Yup steering stabilizer is on its way hopefully get it before the weekend! I also wonder if I put on a 1 inch or 2 inch block and crank the t bars up max if it would be better to go with a 295/75/16 tire.? Also can that size tire fit on my stock 16's with no rubbing at full turn and etc.

Looking at some lift blocks .. Are the cast iron blocks good or should I look for a steel block?

Would the lift block fit good if I took out the stock block and put the aftermarket block in cuz I know the stock block has a point on the bottom of it to fit on the mounting bracket of the axle
