use your steering to center it. Undo the trackbar and have a buddy get in the truck, start it up, and turn left/right until the axle is centered, then hold it there while you adjust and attach the trackbar.

Can you take pictures of your shackle mounts and how they're made?

Oops didnt see this. Well imagine 1/4in steel in a U shape that hugs the unibody. The drivers side shares the steering box mounts and the left i drilled a few new holes and it mounts all the way through the frame. They are beefy. The company that made them lost the fight during the recession so no longer in business. This was one of there best products. Got them in 2008.

Just wheeled the newly built waggy on some local lands. I knew the guy dont worry. Anyway she is awesome. OMFG. My truck can do anything now lol. I love lockers. Did so much i could not do b4. We are gonna go out there again this weekend. Cant wait. Love it.

Rough country is great. Spartan is awesome so are 4.56 gears love them.

The lift felt so tight and rough once i wheeled it those everything seem to settle in better and is riding like a champ now.

Didnt bring phone will take pics next week.

Shackle mounts using steering box bolts? I must have missed something obvious.

Edit: Nevermind. I see. D Shackles up front.

Took the rig out again yesterday. Had some fun tried some stuff i didnt want to try a week ago. Some success. I hate mud but decided to try my luck through a hole. Fully inflated tires and all.

Needless to say i got stuck.
