Finally remembered to come back to this forum!
Most of the pics and specs on my build are on this Pirate thread, [so I can save Woody's bandwith by not reposting them here]:
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=617550
The combination worked out very well for me overall. I will need to readjust the length of my bumpstops now that I have a better 'feel' for how much the loaded rig will drop the bed height towards the axle. Gotta love those flexy springs!
Also not noted in the previous specs and pics are a pair of ConFerr rack crossbars that I welded to the underside of the top of the bed bar for loading boxes into the top of the rack that would still be above the rear window height. I ended up with three boxes that fit the bill perfectly and provided for keeping all my meals 'high and dry'.
At the end of my 15 day journey to and from Canyonlands, UT, I found that I still had enough supplies on hand to do a third week out. I knew that I'd packed too much!
