So far ive got all the goods I need for my dana 60, which is lower kingpin seals (I damaged them knocking the lower kingpins out) , upper kingpin caps (mine were pitted badly) spindle studs and nuts (I rounded most of them off while getting them off), kingpin gaskets, front u bolts and top plates, rotors and calipers, a rear brake extension, front brake extensions, rear u bolts (I have the top plates for a 14b on hand from the k5's 3/4 Ton junk it had)

I think that about wraps it up for axle parts for the most part.
I still need ps pump and box, crossover steering arm, draglink, heims, and driveshafts extended to wrap up the list.

I will be making a crossover steering arm myself, I bought the material needed yesterday.
(pictured)
Yes I know, they can be had for 50-200$,but I don't like buying stuff I can easily make.. I could. Make every single one of the pieces I purchased if I REALLY wanted to, but sometimes practicality overtakes the situation, besides, I haven't seen a 60 crossover arm as cool as the one I'm gonna make

Only other work I have to do is modify the t case crossmember, it is obstructing the front driveshaft

So I changed up the design a little, and after work I roughed out the basical shape of the arm... Whenever I get a little time again this weekend, I will finish it.

Front axle hangers in and welded down solid.

Rebuilt the front axle, and hung it in. Just need to modify the axle tube to use the 4th u bolt.


Ive decided I'm leaving it squatted.
Im coming out of the closet. The Squatted life is for me, if you don't like it, you're clearly a hater and wish you were on my level

I'd like to setup the front on coils. Just not in the cards this time around, I'm trying to get it done before summer.

It's been busy around my place, what with trailer repairs and beer drinking and all that, lol.

Your front shackle angle looks pretty good! How far did you end up sliding those rearward?

After cutting off the sway bar brackets I showed you in the pic the other night, I moved it back about 2.5 or 3".
Gave my shackles a nice 45 degree, and just as I suspected, when the full weight of the truck went down on the leafs..... The leafs didn't budge hardly at all

So, I got the old 10 bolt out, and as I suspected, it was a sloppy ho form my abusing it LOL.

Got the 14 bolt in, that was a real pain. But it's in there now! Rear looks higher than the front, but to the best of my knowledge, it's because the front tires are flat.
I have tubes for those, but I haven't installed them yet.
Either way, the majority of the hard stuff is OVER!!!!
