What'd you have to do to get the 52s up front and how are you liking them? Pics would be wonderful if it's not to much to ask. Did you buy new or find used. If new which did you go with? Sorry I'm so fricken needy lol. I'm already not liking the rough country springs I have up front and just looking into my options.

So. The fronts are stock 52's out of a K5. Spring hangar in back of spring with 3x3 tubing for front cross member with shackles and hangars up front. I will get some pictures asap. And not a problem. Ask away.

That'd be awesome. I'd love to see your rear hanger setup and location. How many leafs are in your pack?

Haven't updated in a bit. I replaced my front leafs, and now need to do the same to the rear. I replaced my plagued Truck Avenger with a 750 Edelbrock. Not quite the same, but runs a billion times better and is now getting the fuel it needs. I destroyed my radiator when the factory mount moved. So I replaced it and built a new mount.
I also built a new rear crossmember. I will start on my bumper/tire carrier next r and r.
