my set up really isnt one to fallow for a street machine. built my truck for mudbogs and mudraces. i myself would use toyota axles before i went with the d30 or d35 jeep axles...ive seen stock toyota axles take hard beatings and keep on going. you could go with a coil spring suspension in the front with 2 link and a panhard bar or you could go with a leaf spring set up which is alot simpler but wont ride as well. my truck has a d44 8 lug in the front and d70 in the rear and leaf springs on both. mine rides kinda rough but my suspension is basically the same as a mid 80's 3/4 ton chevy lol. as for power it has a gm377 stroker with a th350 and np208 bolted behind it and 38x12.50 tsls for grip. more than happy to help with any SAS questions

Is the truck still running good?

Is the truck still running good?

He has been deleted due to inactivity. My guess is not unless he rebuilt it. These diesels cant be expected to run over 300k without a rebuild
