You'll have it in in no time. You're not doing rear discs at the same time, are you?

No I don't plan on rear disc anytime soon. I don't mind the drums. It's just going to be straight in and out nothing fancy.

I don't see it as being a issue unless something goes major sideways. But the hardest part was cleaning and painting it so far and that was simple

It's done it's in but the ebrake cables don't fit so no ebrake and the drive shaft is about 3" too long looks like I'm getting towed

Are you stock height? No lift?

Put it in 4High Part time and drive it with a baggie over the output of the t-case.

I'm 4.5" lifted I put a glove over the out put shaft and drove it out the shop to the street where te tow truck could get me. I have a 30 mile tow radius and I was scared to drive in 4x4 for 18 miles up and down hills and in the freeway like that a free tow beat that noise
