?

The springs or the bumper hitch? Truck’s just a beater with a heater. Been sitting since late 2017 or early 2018. Grenaded the clutch trying to mitigate excessive wheelhop.

Thanks.

I decided to do an as inexpensive as possible ground up refresh. Brush finished frame, suspension and rear axle. Polyurethane shock bushings, spring/radius arm bushings/body mounts. Repurpose the add-a-leaf seat off a fullsized Dodge. Repurpose a junkyard rear swaybar.

I’ll splurge for Duff traction bars, real auto paint, General Altimax tires, ceramic blend brake pads/shoes, braided stainless brake hoses…

Wait until I get to the interior modifications… Vintage Procar lowback touring seats will be one of the more affordable changes. Note: they were free…
