Thanks!
For real. The fronts are so perfect. The rears are at a 90% Goldilocks level.

Too clean.. she needs some good, sticky northern NV mud cakes to add a little death wobble to it!

I beat the hell out of the new suspension for a week straight in Utah and I am thoroughly pleased. High speed trails, fully stuffed rock crawling, rough interstate, highways with never-ending whoops... all while fully loaded. It took it all in stride.
Surprisingly, all of the welds held. We had a portable welder just in case and @Cruiserdrew was itching to use it, but it never got unpacked.
We got the ebrake adjusted out in the field and it worked pretty good. It needs another round of adjustment now that I've stretched the cable and it should work even better. The ABS-less & LSPV-less 80 brakes are the sh!t when you are easing down a long, steep rock face.
The truck felt just as, if not more, stable than before, even with more lift and bigger tires.
I'm totally digging the extra clearance gained by removing the leaf springs. I was always dragging those or getting hung up on them.
Totally b!tchen!!!

On the way there
Cam's truck was impressive on the Hole in the Rock. Great articulation, great power, worked perfectly.
So if you want to turn your 60 into an 80, Cam is the man to see at CarPort Fab.

Hop over to the FAWKING MIND BOGGLING - HitR 2016 thread for a few years' worth of pics. It's just getting cranked up.
dang dude... you owe me two hours on a tuesday now! and i was supposed to go back to work today lol
Had to read the whole saga after following it around in the desert for a week.
Truck looks fantastic and performed flawlessly; loving the combo of capability without being crazy overbuilt. Ok the stylish lines of the 60 are pretty nice too. Wish I coulda grabbed you a flex shot on a couple of the ledge/turn combos. You had 4-5'' of air b/w the top of that 315 and the bottom of the rocker.... noice!
