what thickness of steel is that? you might consider boxing them in for added strength

Yeah, I am thinking the same thing. They'll probably hold up fine.. but after installing them.. they look so wimpy. So I'm going to box them.. and if I'm still not happy I'll rebuild them out of something beefier.

On a related note.. I did something stupid. Again. While trying to install the inner axle seals I made some cool tool out of some tubing scraps I had in the garage. It fits the seal nice and allows for even tapping. Anyway, I went to find the tubing for the bushings on the shackle and for some reason I only had 5.9" of it left and I needed 6". Why? Because I used about 2" for the tool. What's the big deal you ask? Well, that DOM is the odd ball size stuff that was $19 a foot! ^%&@!#$! :fire:

 

[section525]

Oh yeah. The truck is back on it's wheels. In the morning I am bolting up the new tranny x-member and building the driveshaft. Then it's off to the OHV park for testing and photos.

 

[FROADER]

Lots of photos.

 

[IZwack]

I'd have to agree with that. Box it all the way down to the leaf spring, at least on one side.

its late -- go to sleep guys, go to sleep

Its late??

 

[IZwack]

[boominXplorer]

Wow that tranny crossmember is sick! My front D-shaft is like 1/4" from my crossmember at most.

BTW I got a daily driver the other day, parts are being collected to go solid for my sheot.
