5.29 gears

Are you looking for a complete lift kit with hysteer and all? Or just front spring hanger? Marlin crawler, sky manufacturing, trail gear, all pro off road, front range off road. There all pretty much the same.

I will second the 5:29s it brought my truck back to as close to stock as possible the speedo is now correct and I can use 5th again. I would not put gears in the axles for inprovement on the trail because they did not help there but they were worth it for the road. I can get 17mpg on the interstate loaded with gear a spare on the roof and an untouched 25 year old carb feeding the squirrels should easily get 20+ unloaded and with the carb rebuilt

Push pull steering sucks (even for DD). I hope if your not doing hysteer you at least do cross over steering. You already have the ifs steering box.

It's so cheap to buy shock towers, I don't think I would even think about building them, even though I have a bender, notcher, and the tube. If you don't want to do the hoop style, you can use the ford tower style.

yea i mean shell out 50 bucks for a set of shock hoops. if you go with a marlin kit or something all the bracketry you need should come with. And high steer i would say is a must, those tires will fight you through turns other wise.
