Well...this is my 1986 Dodge Power Ram 50 (Custom\Short Bed Model), it's my first vehicle, got it from a family member (I am the 2nd owner). I have made some modifications, other than that, basic vehicle maintenance. I got to say, I brought this pickup truck from the dead, didn't even run! I have some plans for this little pickup truck...just need the money! I want to make it the ultimate off-road/street truck. Well, I am open for any suggestions or comments...I will really apperciate it.

Where did you get the suspension? I can't find any online, I've been looking for lowering springs, but i might go with a lift instead. Have you had to modify any parts to install them?
