New bolt and add a leaf..... Be careful when grinding the old bolt off....put some c lamps to hold the tension if you dont the bolt will fly out like a built its under a lot of pressure

Pro comp will not give a specific lift it says depends on application this is a multi vehicle application kit any where from 1.5 inches to 3 inches I hope its around 2 inches so i will have 4" in back with the shackles....I have read some guys are getting 3.5 inches at first that settle down to around 2.5 inches....

Project BLACK BETTY U joint
Heres the u bolt upgrade for the rear yolk I did on the Dana 44 today from Winston427 thanks man Link below to the how to ( Side note on a Dana 44 the yoke is is bigger so when I tightened the u bolts down they bent cause the nut was in contact with the yolk I dont think it made them weaker but who knows we will see.

Nice!
One Q though: Why the mini spool? If it was budget constraints I fully understand, but wouldn't an autolocker, (on the cheap side) or a detroit TT
(not so cheap) been more practical for street driving?
Not trying to talk sh%t about your decision, just curious about the spool and
how it performs? if it works great for you then who cares.
Be sure and post back about its behavior though, I'm wondering if I should use one in my old D35 till it goes snap!

i started a thread on the mini spool... basically the same thing as welding except if you dont like howit rides you can take it back out... welding not... there only $50 on ebay... so why not... many people chimed in and said once you learned how to drive it on wet pavement and such it was awesome... as far as i know they dont make them for the D35... if they did then you can bet it WILL snap...
