Trying to put a parts list together to start the build up, I was thinking a 3/4 ton 14bolt FF with the 56" spring pack along with it. Is there a shackle flip kit that I can use to convert this? Is this gonna cause clearance issues with the gas tank?

I am looking at a hydroboost set up from a cucv m1009, will this bolt up in place of my vac system?

DIY4X should be able to fix you up with the flip, get with mrk5, he would know more about this. As for the hydroboost, yes everything will bolt up,just make sure to get all the parts from the donor. 85heartburb can help you with questions there....

yah you can do the shackle flip on it, the shackle flips are pretty much interchangable wit any spring combo.

what suspension are you going with for the front? 52's?

i am planning on running 52's on the front of mine but im gonna have to wait a bit. to run 52's you have to run cross over steering to get the effects out of it. also i seen a guy try to use his old steering setup abd flex it out and snapped the pitman arm.
