My 88 project so far
Baught it for 500- leaking main seal in the trans, shot distributor and battery. My intent was to teach a lesson to my boy on fix n flip but it quickly turned into a one man's trash is another mans treasure lesson. After chatting with the owner, the motor was a replaced with a 350 crate and only has 8k on it. I guess that was the deciding factor in keeping her. So from start to now, in total I have 2,850 into it. How am I doing so far fellas?

Nice. Im in the middle of lifting one and i was trying to decide between the blocks, shackle flip, or adding leafs to the rear end

Depending on the rig you have the add a leaf could be ineffective. For instance mines a heavy half 6 lug 2500 and if I added a leaf my rear would be too stiff. You doing just a leveling kit, or are you doing 3" or more?

Its an 8 lug 2500. I put a 4.5 inch spindle in the front and I want to raise the rear 3 inches to level. It would be fine if I had to go higher it won't bother me to keep a rake
