thanks everyone, ill have more progress pictures tomorrow all mounted with brakes and hopefully out of the garage if everything goes well. still need to mount the axle, bleed brakes, and rotate the muffler so that i can clear the drive-shaft.

alright so work got a little slow since my son got sick recently but finally done, well sorta.. i still need alignment, rotate muffler, maybe replace the rear bumper with something else, AND! im gonna be lowering he rear about 1.5" to sit level, i didn't know that the M.O.R.E mounts lift up the rear 1.5"....
took it for a test drive and everything seems good.

i take that question like if your asking to sleep with my wife.. it aint gonna happen.. hahaha.

well i have a problem, i have a low pitch wine when i press on the gas over 10mph-30mph if i let go of the gas it goes away, im thinking bad u-joint since when i installed the ford 8.8 yoke on my driveshaft, "one" of the stick bearings inside the u-joint came out, i didn't think anything of it but i guess that's what i get for trying to rush things..

any thoughts of what else it could be?? maybe a bad bearing if its not the u-joint??
