I had asked the guy about the rear suspension on that truck and springs and perchs are stock... but would you say the axle has been moved to top of springs? rears been narrowed..and looks like u-bolts hanging below, so i think so..

Some questions that have been asked that are not in the original listing have been about the rear end set up...it has leaf spring suspension...the frame rails have not been cut or moved (all the mounts are original)...it has a 9 inch Ford narrowed rear end...and the front wheel/tire combo are Weld Prostars w/Cornelli 1000 225/75/15 tires. Hope this helps.
he says that the mounts are original, but theyve been moved to the inside of the framerail think. I was thinking of doing that a while back, I wonder how it rides and handles
i dont think there moved to the inside. i've seen others done that way, and I would think the spacing would be to narrow.. just running numbers in my head.. 34" frame minus 3" per side for frame width equals 28", then the perch spacing for the frame plus the spring width.. 5"(?) per side? thats done to 18" between the springs.. doesn't look that narrow...
but looking at the specs on the tires, they have a 17.6" section width. no way that would work without moving the springs.

convincor,
look at the bumper bolts (indicating frame location) in reference to the u-bolts showing. the springs do appear to be relocated inside the frame.
