     Good choice, keep us posted with pics and details, it will be a great learning experience for ya.  I love to do things like that, especially if it is not common around where I am at.

when i set my rear setup i used the leaf springs to align the axle up then i cut the rear leaf spring perches and i welded the axle to the frame. then i made sure everything was aligned and started the rear set up. i bought the rear tri 4 link from ride tech but modified the mounts. i am using air bags.
