Lol. Yeah for some reason I didn't think about grinding those rivets off while the axle was out. I like doing things the difficult way. It will be replaced tomorrow.

I got the hubs from the truck the axle came out of, but one of the switches is broken. They both still work, but I am looking for some different ones.

And even after I get done, I still have the rear to swap out. Trying to get ahold of 3.73 gears so I can get Jon's locked 8.8.

It depends on what deal I can find. I would be happy with 33x12.5 if craigslist would grace me with a good find....

Update. Dropped off driveshaft to have it shortened. Shocks installed, home made bracket finally removed and Superlift one installed, steering hooked up, and passenger brake line installed.

Only thing left is to install drivers side brake line after I find a tee that I didn't know I needed, bleed the brakes, and adjust the toe. After that she will be drivable again.

I went to O'reilly and Autozone. Both said they don't have anything and told me to go to Hardy Brake.
