so far the bumper is this high, should be higher when on the 35's,

Looks like a good start;) Probably won't sit quite that high since you've got it at full droop right now plus the front end isn't lifted...or it doesn't appear to be.
 






should see how high it will be with the back done in the next few days.
I think the droop will be picked back up when the tires are on, or the body lift is bolted on.
Hoping i don't have to cut too much for the tires, but i do have some fender flares to go on too,

No the front is not done yet, after the back is done i will turn it around and get the front all apart,
 






I crashed hard the last couple of days to get this thing going , and got the back all done,

Crazy Canuak trying to be like steve, :D :thumbsup:
 






Looking good, did the back end up being as high as you though it would?
 






it is pretty close, once the body lift is on it will be right where i want it,
 






hmmmm

what's this ??? :D:D:D:D:D:D

Looks like a HEEP axle. :eek:
 






it is a Heep axle, but it's a Dana,, so,,
 






it should go in easy with this setup,,

How's the truck coming along? -1 year late-

And, half the pics don't work anymore. :(
 






the snow is almost gone now, and work will get going pretty soon,,
i shelved the Dana 30 idea, and took off the radius arms to lengthen them instead,,
i want to run the ttb instead,,
 






why TTB over the dana 30... other then the dana 30 not being all that strong. Unless of course your not going over 33's
 






i want to run 35 inch tires,, and the 30 won't handle them,,

the ttb will ,although not much better,,but better enough for me,,
 






valid point.why not a 30 with 44 knuckles? and get strong universals for the front axles
