man that truck looks great, what front spring is that? looks to have great travel or something. :o i like it. any special tricks you used that an untrained eye cant see?
 
The front springs are BDS 6 inch nothing speical was done to the front, I have a Diy4x shackle flip with 6 inch shackles and a zero rate under the back with the factory rear springs.
 
Well I guess I should say I was able to get the front side up that high before the rear started to come off the ground and vice versa for the rear.
 
those definately give more in the front than my sheety procomps. nice rig man! out of curiosity im gonna get mine on a dock. 40 inches on the rear tire eh, wonder how close i can get.

I love the BDS springs, they seem to be the best around and they ride pretty nice compared to rough country my buddy has. The springs still have the U clamps on them so the spring pack could still flex more if I took lose the u clamps. I wonder how much more flex I could get?

The bumpers are home made, I used 8 inch C channel. I also used alittle 2 inch schedule 80 pipe that I mitered ans weld together.
 
Yeah i have the 8" BDS springs on the front and 4" ORD shackle flip and 4" BDS springs and a 1" zero rate in the rear of my blazer and they ride/handle great! Big Dick Suspension says it all!:D The loading dock is a great idea! cant believe we never thought of that! We have one right at my garage!

Nice looking truck. Are your springs the stock length, or did you go longer?

The Springs are stock length, I run 6 inch bds in the front and stock springs with a 4 inch shackle flip in the rear.
