Whenever they're ready, I'm not in a huge rush. Rear bumper is next.

I think they are ready.

I spent between 2 and 3 hundred to do it myself and I'm sure it doesn't look 1/2 as good as it could have.
If I could do it again I would have done the whole truck. I know we already talked about that and I understand your concern. That's just my .02.
When/if my 80 ever dies I'm getting something with obdII and second gear start. I am not taking the flairs off/lining the next rig.

What caster correction will use? Bushings or plates?

Don't know. Recommendations?
justbecause
perpetually lost.
I just wrote a novel of a reply, read it, and realized I said a lot of nothing.
No I don't have a recommendation. I bought and never installed a set of drop brackets for the back of the front control arms. After my first wheeling trip I realized those would be in the way and it would have required moving a slider mount to install.
Matt lead me to believe plates are a lot of work.
I can't tell a big difference since changing caster, but its possible I have too much correction... When I get 315s I'll see if that makes any difference. If not ill throw on a generic parts store spring spacer for another inch of lift up front and see if that changes anything.
-yes that was the shortened version-

Plates are for 4+ inches of lift and usually necessitate a dc shaft. With 2” you will need regular 2.5 degree bushings.
Zack, you don't have too much correction. Steering would be much heavier if you did.

Keith beat to the good quote. I'm calling ACC tomorrow about a lift. In found flares in white too. So they may be going back on.
Your sliders are almost finished, one more good night in the shop and they should be ready to go.
what are your impressions of it? Everything I've read says it is extremely durable after the control box is sealed up. I've almost bought one a few times.
