Is that f106 axles? Since i was worried about m shaft angles but after seeing yours I think I llbe ok sine I have longer wheelbase

They are Arvin Meritor axles (new Rockwell).  I think back a page in this thread I talk about them more.

Ah, gotcha.  Yeah, most of what was done should be able to be carried over.  The differences mostly inside.

Finally got the power steering pump pulled, now to put the new one in.

Got the trans to tcase shaft pulled.  Need to either sleeve the trans output yoke, or just get a new one.  It was leaking like crazy.

Finally got out and did some work.

Get the new trans yoke in... seems to have stopped the leak.

Power steering all hooked back up.  Definitely need a reservoir and a cooler.  It got real hot.  Like steaming hot.

Also have to decide on what to do about the clearance.  Either  trim a LOT more or more springs.  I really dont want to do more springs though.

Body lift

It's got a two inch body lift.  More than enough both lift for me.

Well, one wheel pulled off.  I hope to get the other three off tonight.  Then take the wheels to get the other tires mounted.

They are waiting to be mounted.  I will get the pictures when they come home.  Probably about 4-5 inches taller.  I need to remember to take a measurement.
