dude who is doing the re-gear is backed up, sucks.

D35 comes out this weekend, gonna be selling hub to hub, newer ball joints, brakes, rotors, bearings, u-joints, 4.10 ring and pinion, open carrier, slight bearing noise when using 4wd, otherwise no issues. Hope to recoup some funds to get the steering kit I want.
 






2 beam brackets and one tie rod end away from the 35 coming out, pilot light in the pellet stove wouldnt stay lit and it got a little too chilly in the garage to do much more. next weekend is only 5 days away
 
























Those must be new. They sound awesome too! :thumbsup:

Takes care of the sway bar headaches for those that want to DD.

The shocks and coil arrangement sounds great, I really want to see it installed now. :)

you might be able to.. im seriously thinking about getting them.
 












you might be able to.. im seriously thinking about getting them.

now I know youll be able to see them on a truck.. I just ordered them.

duff sas bolt on coil buckets, all hardware, 2 duff shock towers 270 to my door. universal buckets are 120, shock towers lets say 30-50, and id have 30 in grade 8 hardware so its not THAT bad. now i need to sell some more junk to recoup my budget for the steering.
 












if they make it in by friday.. and the driver side frame doesnt have a surprise hole when i take the factory bucket off.. you might be able to see how it looks bolted up. I am a procrastinator, although with all the stress from this work week i'll be needing some garage time to settle myself down.
 






























i cant remember where I saw it, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. was someone using the skyjacker or superlift (cant remember which brand) ext. ttb radius arm mount/trans cross member with 44 radius arms?

That would be the Skyjacker crossmember and brackets;)
