For what Billy is building a full tube chassis wouldn't be practical..
full tube chassis constructed projects tend to flex, and are not really
streetable...especially the round tube type.
An X-brace would be the best solution to prevent chassis flex....
NOW since Billy's got the cab and bed off the frame, upgrading to a
air suspension front and rear would be a COOL addition for Billy's 95'
He could also install a 4-link suspension with the rear air ride
package...............'course that MOD would run several thousand bucks for
a properly engineered and installed set up.
