Yeah were gonna redo the drag link and trac bar brackets so they're positioned right this time.

Also I found a set of Dana 60 Hy-steer arms on Craigslist, I might be able to use them. I'm gonna go check it out this week hopefully. Also this weekend I'm going to check out the axles and most likely pick them up next week.

Of course I'm not gonna drive through mud or water that deep, its for when thin mud comes flying into the engine bay, like it did in my last truck. A regular cold air intake or even a stock intake likes to suck in water and thin mud when you plow through mud holes at high speeds when it flies everywhere. I turn the top of the snorkel around when I'm gonna hit anything watery and it saves from having water and muck sucked into the engine. Everything before the snorkel such as the air box and throttle body area is sealed up pretty good to protect if from flying water. It's not water tight-just water resistant.

I'm going tomorrow to check the axles and see how good they look. I'll take some pictures and hopefully buy them this weekend.
