picked up the rear axle today on the way home from windrock. He also hooked me up with a 100% duty cycle viar pump and a regulator. Now I just need more time and money so I can all this stuff installed.
Wow, been busy the last few months. Unfortunately I will not be going to WENT this year. The wife wasnt too happy with the idea of me leaving her with a 4 year old and a baby while I went to play in the woods. I tried to work it out so I could maybe come just friday and saturday, but too many things are in the way of it happening this year. I have been busy remodeling my old house to try and get it sold, and I have a 3 month old that takes up a lot of my time. Good news is we are closing on the house a week from today, so I dont have to spend any more time or money on it. The bad new is the truck is still not in proper running condition, much less in any kind of shape to wheel it. The house I am living in now has no where to work on the truck at. I tried working on it in the gravel driveway, but I had issues with the truck trying to fall off the jack stands when the boards I had the stands on would start sinking onto the gravel. Decided it wasnt worth dying for to try and work on it now. I could drive up the road and use my brother in laws garage, but it needs to be cleaned out before anything can go in there and neither of us have had time to work on that. And on top of everything else since our house sold fast, we are going to start building our new house in November, but with that comes making a 20% down payment on the house loan, which basically means no extra money for anything fun till we get that finished. I have also had some health issues in the last month or so that we are waiting on the bill for, and who knows how much I will end up owing for that.
Hopefully life will slow down a little and I can start posting some, or at least use my computer more often. This is the first time I have turned on my computer in about 2 months.
I was told to STAY AWAY from using revolver shackles due to them having the ability to flip the other way. Is this true?? People have had bad experiences.
I'm having flashback nightmares of that revolver shackle thread. They're fine, use them. End of story.

Passed inspection and got an alignment. On my way now to get my truck and start loading some gear for ure.
Tj, my current droop is limited by my shock. You have to remember that i am still running the shocks for a 3 inch lift. They only opened about 2 inches before i moved them up to the axle.
If I flex like I did in the pic where one rear wheel is stuffed and the other is drooped to the shocks limit I dont make any contact with the drive shaft. Its when I get into situations where the rear suspension is unloading is where I am afriad of damaging the drive shaft. If I lift the rear of the truck up so unload the suspension I start to hit the cross member with an inch or so left to droop.
