What do you do in the military of you don't mind me asking? Both my brothers are in the Army and I've be contemplating joining ever since 9th grade but the current political situation and my brothers advice has pushed me to go to college lol.

And Dave, I've got a front drive shaft in my shed. Needs to be rebuilt. Thinks its something to do with the ball joint or whatever in the cv portion.

Alright...went and got the rest of my materials for the 3 link. DOM is coming from Ruff Stuff, went to our local store and picked up my rect tube for the cross member and square tube for the lower arms..

Ours looks about the same, why did you choose 6* shims for the rear and where are you getting new center pins from?

Havent even ordered shims yet. Hell.. havent ordered leafs or coils yet.

Ive been talking with my bud who had the same 3 link setup a while back...think he went with 4* shims last time, a tad more would have been perfect.

As far as the center pins im not sure yet.
