It wasn't that bad lol. I found that when I felt like I was about to say something was close enough that it was time to go home and do something else

Well that would be interesting but no. I bought a pair of hp44's. One is out of a 70s ford 1 ton truck so it had leaf springs which means I can use it and the other has the factory cast ford wedges which makes it unusable to me. But I got both for the right price and can use the 1/2 ton 44 knuckles and whatnot to achieve 5x5.5 bolt pattern which my rear will match with just a little work.

Well ended up taking a change in direction. Sold the 44 and picked up a kingpin 60 and Dana 70 combo. I will be sticking to my old suspension setup but will be making the switch to full hydro and 231 d300 doubler. Oh and got some 40" iroks.

Very nice BTW. I plan on a hybrid cage as soon as the rest of my junk gets done. Subbed.
