I plan on purchasing all the parts or a kit (not sure yet) and taking it too a chassis shop for the work. I truely lack the skill and experience in this arena, so I'll leave this to a pro.

For now i'm looking at Comp Engineerings components because I can get these at a very reasonable price. 4 link and coilovers are what I plan on. Since I have been working on the new bed layout for the fuel tank relocation and battery housing I have also made accomodations for the raised bed floor and mini-tubs. I don't plan on having this stage of modifications done for some time...may-june next year (I'm tring to find a complete bed I can work with without destroying mine)

From what I can tell this will be the most extensive part of the truck project to date.

Next time I go down to my dad's house, I will get the name and number of the place if you want? I remeber seeing a bed that was off of a truck the last time I drove by there.
