Update. I have it pretty much ready to rock in the pics below. I had it out on a test run with the stock blue springs, and it was ridiculously soft. I had some progressive rate ones on their way, finally got them, threw them on, made a huge difference, the truck has ground clearance again.

I cleaned it up, routed wires, found a radio box in my spare parts bin, threw in a nice high-torque steering servo, factory team steering kit, have some factory team shock caps coming and will finish that up with 50wt oil with the progressive springs, and I think that'll be it for a little while.

Haven't run it with the new springs, I'm hoping it solves the squatting problem (I'm sure it will, i can drop it and it doesn't bottom out like before). We just got 15 inches of snow, so I'm trapped for a bit for any good video posts. Don't worry, I know the rules of the internet, no video, no one cares. :)

Pics below. Hopefully video to follow.
