Welcome to the board!

thank you.

in your opinion what do you think would be the easiest; putting the leafs on the inside of the frame rail, 4 link, or ladder bars?

these pics were took after i sold it back to my buddy..putting leafs inside of frame rail ..you box sections of the frame and swap left side to right vice versa four link is easy but adjusting is a ***** for beginners..on ladder bars you can actually put truck up on jack stands and put in youre front crossmember between the rails and slip youre ladder bars all hard were connected and measure and weld it all in then cut factory hangers off add coil overs are you doing this for looks ? because a 10.5w will fit stock wheel wells and actually go faster
