I'm pretty sure you have to move both spring hangers to run 64s, at least to keep the axle in a somewhat stock location. 56s, though, can be ran by simply flipping the shackle flip around and flex really well. You could also run the 56s backwards to gain a little more wheelbase.

Got some metal to make a cross member...

If you want travel and a soft rear spring I liked 90s f150 57" rear springs. You will need a traction bar with them tho.

Myself, @Deuling, @jekquist and a few other guys run them and they work good. I have mine on my crawler and there's are on dune rigs but they're pretty verstatile and work well. Plus they are stupid cheap.

Ok getting back on track, anyone run a holly temernator x? Any recommendations on headers for a 5.3 under $300?

When a jack sucks, use 4 ratchet straps…

How's the floor clearance for the ebrake (HAD parts thread)? How much is your 205 clocked up? I'm curious about clocking vs caliper clearance.
