This was a little over 2 yrs ago also. I ordered springs from the net, the rest I sourced locally. Installed all myself w/no powertools. took 2 days
That's awesome! My truck is pretty dang rusty, don't have the tools or time to do it....it might be alot but she's done right and I don't have to worry about it.

92 smokin....the Borgeson shaft I got just extends to where you want it.......my rag joint seemed to be fine...just finished installing it, it was pretty easy...a buddy of mine helped me...drove it home from Boise, 30 miles on the interstate....night & day difference.....had to adjust the angle on the driveline, shemmed it by the carrier bearing....not sure if single cabs have carrier bearings....might be different for your truck....love it, drives great, looks great!

Headache rack pics....

Okay fellas, here's my new headache rack....got her all welded up tonight and sat her on the truck to see how she looks....I'm lovin' it. My buddy and I spent the last few nights puttin' this all together. I'll take it off in the morning and grind, polish, then prime and paint. Its super beefy and super stout
Next week I'll add on a little cubby to protect the t-pipe for the stacks....I'll put some pics up tommorow after she's painted black.

Mmmmm Beefy, I like it!
Definitely mount a couple lights on there, I wouldn't do anything overkill though.
