Hydro is in the works for mine as well. I was going to do just a stabilizer, but when you can buy THIS, it's darn near the same price. Well, ok, it's a fair bit more...

hydro is nice, only thing that scares me about it is ive seen to many people break stuff because of it, the mounts, bend tie rods etc. im running the astrovan box with crossover and 33s, and eh my steering is ok under most situations but it does kinda suck id love to have hydro but not needed for what i do off road

Size:  644.7 KB all i have to is please be careful in these top heavy beasts... also my seatbelt is probably the only thing that saved me from being ejected in one of the 4 rolls. im going to swap out the body eventually, and make her a mountain rig. The frames fine, all my welds held, but it bent the front leafs like crazy.

Sorry for not posting back, but I did the classic reach in the floorboard for a can of dip... with the steering the way it was i diddnt really notice that i'd gotten pulled so badly towards the ditch, and when i looked up all i saw was telephone pole and grass so i yanked the wheel came up on 2 wheels... counter steered to get it back down and did.... Thats when the rear went slid all over the place, and with the suspension preloaded it was down for the count. All i could think to do during flipping and skidding was to hold on, and shut the truck off. I've already started getting the wiring harness removed etc for body removal, and am looking for a single cab S-10 body to replace it. i also plan on putting a flatbed on it. Then she will be my dedicated mountain/trail riding rig.
thanks again for all the help... I'll post pics when i finish putting the body on.
