[QUOTE="rswords, post: 543852, member: 8333"] After playing around on soem land we have here, I lost another gear set.

Every time I see it, it pisses me off. I'm not saying that the back of my truck is the best looking back half with the best lines, but the front was dragging its down and just didn't match, it was obvious the front was done with out giving a ****. It was tossed together fast to make a trip with the "I'll fix it right later" attutude and finially.... 8 months later... its time.

[IMG]http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb122/RESWORDS/IMG_20151107_153121781.jpg[/IMG] With these 52" rear springs the axle is going to be something like 9 or 10 inches forward from stock. This meant the IFS box had to go WAY forward, The front crossmember is the same distance forward as factory, the box is all the way to the end. The shaft for the pitman arm is actually forward of the radiator sore support.
