PLAN B
This build was 2 parts 1 i have a truck I made to pretty to wheel so I'm building an ugly one I can actually enjoy.
And 2. My cousin has been trying to join us for blazer bash but his truck wont be ready so we are surprising him with this one
TBI engines are awesome when left alone 
I'm changing to 40s here soon, but will move from 4.88 to 5.38 gears. Might not be cost effective to move one gear up for you though.
LOL I want to see you full tucked AND full lock on the steering wheel, you'll take out half your fender!!
That's kinda what I'm waiting for, funds for the gears and a plan to cut more fender. Front axle is already 2" forward, need more cutting. Rear axle is 4" back, might have to do some inner wheel well reshaping.
Gezz, that step from 37s to 40s feels huge! hahahaha

I tested full lock side to side and went up until i lifted tires and only nicked a little up front. I think with bumbs I'll be golden. You should be to.
Going from a 37" swamper thats more like a 36 to a true 40" is a massive step up. Its crazy how much difference it made
missing a big block
Kinda passively looking at the 8.1
yes please
Gonna take me a year to convince you coilovers are more fun than 8.1s
Might take you a lifetime
Nope cause I'll have coilovers before then. So will Keith. One ride and you'll be convertedMight take you a lifetime
I just bought a buildable core from work yesterday. Shop replaced it due to an upper end "tick". I'm going to be in a lot of trouble soon.
Wiring and gas pedal is what concerns me. Im sure its not horrible
I have an ecm and pedal assembly.
Set your bump stop so the spring doesn't go past flat. The springs will last a lot longer.
You are the worst influence ever.... dont you have a buildable 8.1 also... i mean maybe we make a package deal?

Indeed I do.. might could work.
Thanks to the bad influence of @72gmck5 i now have a a-bomb bumper for this truck.
A local guy was selling it, never installed, i was able to get such a smokin good deal on it i couldnt pass it up.
I need to slow my roll on buying parts but sometimes you have to jump on a good deal when you see it.
Now i can do the 52" springs like some of you other guys. And i have a set of springs already

I argue the " bad" part of the influence.
You needed that
