I'd put some new tires/wheels on it before driving in public. but that's just me.
and that bed is so small it looks like you could turn it into a hand lifted dump bed like on a gator.

It's screaming for wheels about as bad as mine's screaming for a drop.

jesus, it's like pulling teeth with you. by flipped spring perch you mean where the springs mount in relation to the axle (below vs above?) or did you flip the leaf pack? I must not be up to speed with the term "flipped spring perch" and what that means.

HOW DOES SHE RIDE?

I cut the perch off and flipped it on the axle and re-used the factory hardware. Didn't change anything in the spring pack besides the centering bolt.



Ohh I used some lift shackles in the back too



I think if I flip the overload spring I might get a little lift but I rilly need a add a leaf that adds 1.5 in of lift.

Ohh there is a new forum Frontierboard.com

Ride in the rear is great! Front needs some way stiffer springs. I'm looking for some 3.5" coils that compress out to 7-7.5"
