I bought this last year on the interwebs while I was deployed sight unseen. I got home and found heated front coils and something pretending to be rear leaf springs. After a long Northwest winter I ripped everything out underneath and thanks to forums like this and the University of Youtube I'm read to move into the transmission and engine swap.
Up front is a Western Chassis 2.5 drop spindle and 1" drop spring (it seems to lean to the right a bit, not sure why yet), new shocks and brakes and bearings etc etc
Out back is a belltech flip kit with a freshly built 10 bolt rear. The leaf springs are one ton springs with a few leafs removed.
The wheels are AE 127 17x9 with -5mm offset and 5" back space. The tires are 275/40/R17 Cooper Zeon.
I've always wanted this exact truck and now I have one. I'm a novice in all this so if you are too, it can be done, in your driveway with minimal tools and some good friends to help out.
