so shocks are mounted.. everything is finished except brakes.
my dad tore apart the calipers today to clean them, one was frozen up.

only thing i need to finish (other than dad to show back up w/ my calipers) is one passenger side brake hose. need 2 passenger sides to make it work w/ what i have. i'll list it all out when i'm finished w/ the swap.

welp, its on all 4's.. drove it twice so far.
my drive shaft is vibrating a little, no biggie.

thing that scares me is when i first let off the gas and the truck is coasting i have a noise. why? any reason this could be?

i love the 4.56 combo w the 4.0 and 33's!! its perfect gear (or so it seems, i've only drove it twice)

4.56's are bad ass. And so are 4.88's (what I'm rockin' :headbang:).

What kind of noise?

If humming, could be gears or the noise from the vibration.

how doe's your pinion angle look with the angle of your driveline to your t/c, wrong angle will cause a vibration when you coast.

Noise is hard to describe.. Almost like a rotation rattle, but only when coasting. And only sometimes when coasting. Not even all the time....

Pinion angle is great.
Pics to come when it's not pouring down rain

Dustin, go to time out... If I didn't already have gears and install kit; id buy your axle in a heartbeat. If I thought I could get some more out of my gears.. I'd still buy it! Even UFO lost a little money, the work is done already! Lol.

About the noise; idk what to do yet. I wish I knew a way to tell of it was driveshaft or diff for sure.
