Clueless, you made my day! Youre the man! That bogie suspension is the set I'm looking at, just waiting for the guy to respond to my questions. Once he does I'll buy it. As for the crossmember, that would be a breeze for me to build and it wouldn't take me long at all. The other reason I don't want to reframe with the WC frame is because I want to lengthen my truck overall. I planned on making a new bed anyway, so I really don't mind this extra step while I'm at it. I figured out a way to do the tandems with late model axles and I already have two Dana 60s sitting in the shop. The truck already has a Dana 60 front axle. I have the transfer case figured out, so I will be converting my NP205 to dual output with parts from an NP201. All I need is the suspension and a little steel. And the reason I want to stretch the truck is so I can have both the tandems and my 3 speed auxiliary transmission. This should make for something really interesting. My WDX has a big block 426W engine with aluminum heads and 2x4 crossram manifold, NV4500 5 speed OD, Spicer 5831B 3 speed OD auxiliary, and divorced NP205 transfer case. It's set up with 4.10 gears and will be getting 265/70/19.5 tires. It will look good and will be very unique...
