Roast my setup

[bocaj25]

Here are a few shots of my rear end. Looking for someone to tell me how wrong it is and how to make it better. Should I just go 4link at this point? Also help IDing the axle possibly.
Thank you.

Run that mid-90’s awesomeness as-is!!!

Looks like a 9” with a DIY truss. Sorry I’m not much help on ID.

Have you ran it?

Only on the street. Needs a few fixes before I take it out to the dirt

I think you just take it out and run it if it ain’t broke do t fix it lol.

Looks like you’re missing a bolt on one of the flanges. I would give it a good bolt check. The big steel bump stops might be harsh slamming into your frame. But still doesn’t mean you can’t go have fun with it.

I can’t talk shit on this set up cause it’s not bad by any means compared to some of the stuff out there

Those shock shafts are pitted/corroded, you can replace the shafts or hit them with a razor blade to knock the flakes off, use a small, fine file to deburr them, and wet sand/polish theme stuff out with some 1000-1,500 grit sand paper to make them less likely to tear seals.
Those leaf springs look more like a lift pack than a performance pack as well, I’d consider upgrading to a Deaver or atlas spring pack and get some ride height out of the back for more up travel.
Lastly, I’d consider moving the shocks outboard of the frame for better control

Thank you for your great ideas will be doing all of this

Kevin said it, and I agree . Move shocks outboard and run it.

I wish I knew. I guy I bought it from only had it for about two years never really used it. Then needed to get rid of it. Would be cool if anyone has ever seen this truck before I know it was built in the early 2000s. By the look of it there has been different people with different ideas that messed with it.
