I got new wheel bearings coming thanks to huntingman and then i am also getting new axle seals, and new ball joints... My ball joints were horrible to say the least. 2* on the passenger side 0.5* on the driverside and standard Ball joints on the bottom. So everything but new gears pretty much.... because the u-joints in the axles are newer and have no play

What a great thread to be following. I read through the complete build. Great job!! Good that you didnt get hurt in the roll. Now you can tell peeps you tossed it over and you get some cool looks from people. Cant wait to see more. If you need grill parts, we sell them new at a really good price where I work. let me know if I can help

Well not much work has been made (money issues and moving houses and other life issues) but i did get my new 6.5" coil springs mounted, my track bar adjusted, my control arms adjusted. and sitting on its own weight everything looks good. which is a plus. I need to get axle seals installed and still need to purchase ball joints and then it will be good to go. The interior has been reassembled and it is getting towed out of the garage on monday to go to my new house.

Yeah I know haha. But With the arms set up for a 10" lift (stretched the axle forward) it helped a little bit with not only the axle arch but overall angle
