I'm tossing around the idea of putting a ladder bar set up in my '87 stepside next winter when, I upgrade the rear. Just wondering if anybody has one in theirs and has pictures of it.

Thanks, Dave

I already have a homemade set. Just thinking about future upgrades and, it will take off some weight and be more consistant as well.

In my honest opinion if you were going as far as a ladder bar set up I would recommend a four Link with coil overs. More adjustability.
From what I understand ladder bar suspensions hit the tire real hard.

That also has been a consideration as, I only put between 300-500 miles a year on it anymore.
