well,,,with the front axle under the front,it was time to turn my attention to the rear. i put on my new skyjacker stainless steel extended brake line. then i put on my 5.5in skyjacker rear springs. then my5.5in blocks(yeah i know,blocks,ewwww,but the boggers set me back). then went on my procomp shocks. i put on the left side tire,but im not real sure what happened,but when i put on the right side tire,a lugnut stuck. it wouldnt come off with a 600ft lb snapon impact. it wouldnt chisel off. so i had to take the diff cover off,take out the c clip,and pull tire,drum and axle out together. then grind off the wheel stud from behind. after that was done and put back in,,,i put the tire on. then i looked at my pinion angle. the pinion was up to high. so i had to take off the pinion shims on the leaf springs and it gave me a great angle. my slip yolk is in the same place as it was with the 3 in lift. i cant beleive it,but it is. i got all my brakes bled out. with all 4 39.5 boggers on,,,,my eyes are level with the hood. i am 6ft2. this is one big ass truck. now im just waiting for my pitman arm to come in and i can build my steering. ive taken pics of the whole buildup and will post as soon as i can
