I like what you did. The only problem I have is that it raises the ride
height 3" or 4". I would suggest if you rgonna do this kind of swap think
about either notching the frame or using the frame stubs. If you don't you
need to figure in the cost of lowering into your figures. The other thing
to think about is most people are gonna want their truck lowered an
additional couple of inches (2" or 3" lower than stock). You are then
looking at having to lower the truck 5-7". I can't see this being good for
the suspension geometry.
