I have a stock set of mini springs you can have if you want them.

Hhmm. I need to lift it a bit as well.

Beamed at ya from my tricorder.

Finally got back to this. Spent some time today adding a nose box and rear bumper. I got some new tires a few days ago. It had 235/75r15 and now it has 30x9.5r15.
Some pics.













Coming from the space/time continuum.

Next up is a new axle/hubs, slightly wider than whats on there now.
then:
Set up the sink
water tank with faucet
bedline the inside
battery with solar charger
some LED lights and charging ports

otherwise, once the water tank is framed in, I'll take the bed off and sand down the frame so I can clean it up and repaint it.

I would like to add about 1 inch or so of lift to the suspension. Whats the easiest way to go about that?

Will you be using the style water tank and faucet as your old AT trailer?

For a little lift seeing how you are spring under, longer rear shackles. Something you can make pretty easy.

Nice to see you back fabbing

I'm looking at a tank from Ronco, from Skillets thread. I want to get one without fittings and place them where I want them using bulkhead fittings and a port on top so I can reach inside. I'm going to put the tank filler tube in the gas tank hole of the bed and a faucet will come out in a small box to the left of the nose box. The tank will be mounted between the frame rails, in front of the axle. It will be armored underneath and insulated all around. probably 15-20gal.

Extended rear shackles was what I was thinking but wasn't sure that was kosher. I have squat experience with leaf sprung vehicles.

Thanks Phil! It' was fun getting back to this project. I plan on having it ready to use within a month or so and continue to mod it over the course of this year.
