[QUOTE="chainsaw, post: 1455546, member: 16962"] Well dude you've heard my opinion before but Ill give it again, number one take all the advise here with a grain of salt, alot of the guys here like to swing their 'my brand is better then your brand' dicks in the air. Keep it simple, keep it on a budget. First off the front axle, get a waggy 44, put some cheap chromo axles in it, a cheap set of 5:13s. A high pinion wont fit for the ride height your going to want plus its the correct width for your rig. Second, rear axle, the 233b that is in your truck is one of the strongest axles put in a mid size rig, the rig gears are spendy but with the time you have you can probably find a used set cheap you can pounce on if you keep some cash stashed for said occasion. I know quite a few cats who might have a set. As for what diff, read up and make an educated decision about what your willing to put up with and how much to spend. Ill set the diff up for you so your out no money there. Another thought, you may need new bearings depending on what diff you go with, they will be a couple hundred bucks by them selfs so keep that in mind when making your decision. The 233 is also made to fit the truck so that saves you work. Plus it takes about 30 minutes to have it down to a bare housing/the diff out. Nice axle to work on. As far as suspension, dont reinvent the wheel, save your self trouble. IMHO I think you should three link the front, do high steer, hydro assist, lift the back with some chevy 60"s and later on see how it feels/is performing. Links are difficult to tune, doing one set at a time would be much easier. You know you can always ask me if you have questions. I know someone put the bird in your ear about transfer case gears, dont worry about that for now, I happen to know a certain someone who wheels a gen one on 36s with stock t case gears. :redneck: Soon you will join the dark side!
