stock front drive shaft and lift
on an 87 4x4 short bed, how much lift can a stock drive shaft support without needing to be modified? No hard wheeling just a little fun. 4speed manual and a NP208.- Ole Buck

What radiator are you using for the 5.3

A very expensive and dumb mistake (update I was wrong)
Talked to the original owner of the rear end. Said it was perfectly normal to be offset by that little bit. No issues at all when he ran it on his K30. Same transmission and transfer case. Just got to use the bastard u joint in order for my driveshaft to work properly. Bucket you were right!!- Ole Buck

It would be way off center. This rear came out of a 03 2500 I believe. The yoke and pinion are off set instead of centered like I need. I don’t know what I was thinking. I had no idea it was like this.- Ole Buck

A very expensive and dumb mistake (update I was wrong)
finally mocking up the drivetrain after setting the engine transmission and transfer case and then I saw it. I guess I just got excited about doing a one ton swap into my 87 square and just simply bought the wrong rear end. I already have 5.13 gears, arb air locker and disc brakes.the spring...- Ole Buck

LS timing chain and gear
I did find an answer. It's an upgrade kit in case you want to drill and tap your block and add this chain tensioner/slack killer hot mess of nothing. Stock is absolutely ok with me.- Ole Buck

I have been told several times to get the best gasket set you can for an LS. Now in my day Fel-Pro was that the bees' knees when it came to gaskets. What's "the best" gasket set now?
