Nope, lift that bed up, tires on & everything. Oh, wait a minute. Your truck looks a little lower than mine. I keep forgetting that there are 2 wheel drive trucks. Everything here is 4x4. If your wheels/tires are close, pull the right rear off. But anyways, you can lift the bed 16-18 inches off the frame easily.

All right, you guys have my attention. 
Well I did start on some traction bars, but got busy and distracted away from them. I have bars to build 5 sets right now, I just have to build the mounts for them. So would $275 shipped be a good price point for you guys? I haven't get the mount design set in stone yet, but will be Caltrac style, but won't pivot off the spring eye, instead they will attach to the spring right behind the eye and pivot there, so you don't have to remove the gas tank to install them. I am finishing up a turbo kit right now, and will have some pics to post up later this week. This first batch will be for non-flipped axles only till I can see what I will have to change to make them work on flipped axles too. Let me know who is interested for sure.

Ok guys, I built a prototype this afternoon to show you what I have. The bars and joints are some kind of zinc coated and the rest of the parts will be painted black. These clamp to the front of the spring and pivot off of the spring clamp. They push on the back of the spring eye, so there is no binding or stress points They are complete bolt on, no drilling cutting, dropping the gas tank or anything. Should be able to install them in about and hour.
This first batch will be $280 a pair, shipped. Please paypal me at kybrown@gmail.com with shipping instructions, unless you want to send a check. I will be building and shipping these next week. They will be on a first come first sever basis. If I get more then 5 of you who pay, It only takes me a couple days to get more materials, so shouldn't be any hold ups. PM me with any questions.
Thanks, Kyle

so those two split pieces in the middle that wrap around the leaf are just wedged in there and not welded to the triagle plates correct? also i have lowering leafs, think that would make any difference?

The only thing different would be the u-bolt plate, and I should be able to built that too, just need to look at it a little more to see what I need to do.
