They are plastic, and so far I absolutely love them. I had a regular toolbox in the bed, but with the bed cover on, I never wanted to use it. To much trouble, rolling up the cover, climbing up into the bed, and rolling the cover back down. Nope. Now I actually use my boxes!

Does it have a lift kit ? I have an 84 Ram 250 that needs new or lift springs on the front because my 305/70/16's hit the front finder bottom edge when I turn. I haven't found any springs with less than 4" lift and I don't need that much. So what did you do ?

Awesome rig. Very jealous. I have had so many Powerwagons, Ramchargers, and Trailduster. Mine were bought when I was young and thought they would just always be there.

Anxious to see your build and adventures with your ADVENTURER

You should be able to find a local spring shop that can make a set of springs for the lift and spring rate you want. A lot of the guys in my old Jeepster Commando group had to do that.

That's my problem, no local shops within 150 miles. I've been online with every spring maker I could and all tell me "send me your springs and we will re-arch them". The freight charge alone there and back cost more than springs you can buy (for other makes). On closer examination of this truck picture I can see he has chopped off the fender of his truck for clearance. Exactly what I don't want to do.
Living rural has its setbacks. He didn't say if he has a lift or not. I'll probably just make some longer shackles in the front or buy a single leaf that is supposed to add 2" to the height. I don't like rinky dink methods and I consider both methods just that.

Thanks, it looks lifted especially for a 150 series truck. The height looks just right and very close to what my height is now. I just have an age sag in the front. See post #34 on page #2 of this thread.
