Nyles, good luck with the lift. I used cage f250 springs with bkg radius arms and a full width dana 44 high pinion. Dom steering and track bar with a steering arm from a f150 or f250 im not sure. The rear is a 5.5" spring pack with a 2" block and it's still to low to match the front. When I get my winch and bumper is should level out. Here's some pictures.

Something like 3.65 backspacing

When I added the body lift and moved up to 37s it added more weight to the spare tire carrier. This along with the roll cage, back seat, toolbox full of tools and spare parts, recovery gear, ready welder, etc etc started to cause some rear spring sag over time.

I added some lift blocks to level it out. Ideally some 4.5 in rear springs are in order. If you're planning on carrying as much crap as I do, you might want to consider this from the get go.

Here's a side shot to give an idea of the fender trimming

37" Boggers on 10" wheels, 3.5" BS
5.5" lift - no body lift. Cage coils/shocks / Wild Horses 5.5 11 Pack



Stretched the front out 6" and hacked the body until the tires stayed out of it. The front should flex more, shocks limiting travel.

don't you have other sets you can put on for going fishing, etc? That was my plan but no more than I drive mine it's not worth the hassle of swapping them...reason I sold those SSR's. I have another set of Procomp 35's that don't have 10 miles on them that may go next.
