looks like you and me are on the same page at this point in time. i too am going with the trail gear kit but i'm only running 35's with 5.29's. i'm getting my 85 axle this friday and i'm going to go with longs as well.

 

[88wildrunner]

i had to go with trail gear they have one hell of a deal goin on. and all the fabrication of the parts are perfect. here some more pics of my progress

i say the first mod would be to get rid of the get-er-done sticker:flipoff2:

i'd have some doubts as to the straightness of that front axle housing by looking at the center link. if it was bent from an impact, the housing could be too.

[off topic] what the hell is nor*cal? is it a clothing brand or something or just saying that you live in northern california. i obviously don't hang out with the cool kids

 

[tanman2003]

you could put gettin-er-done, and when your finished building your truck you can put got-er-done:laughing:

The guy i bought the axle off of said the center link was off another truck so they bent the center link to make it fit. and the housing looks pretty straight

Check the housing before you do anything... Seriously - that centerlink looks like a stock mini truck center link. Do not allow yourself to go through all of this work only to find a bent housing.

 

[88wildrunner]

whats the best way to check if its bent

Hey brian when i got my truck i came with that bent center link. I did not bent it to make it fit! It was already like that! My uncle gave me that axle with a strait center link. I took off the strait center link and put it on my truck. I just put the bent center link on that one so when i move it around the garage it would be easier to pickup! I dont think the axle is bent.

 

[88wildrunner]

ok cool thanks man. yeah when i was lookin at it, it didnt look bent so im not realy worried about it.

and here is the story on the nor-cal perpenelia, theres a group of people who think nor-cal and so-cal should be separated into to states for tax reasons and water distribution reasons, then the nor-cal and so-cal thing turned into a clothing deal. well thats what ive heard

when it comes to bumpers/stingers, pink is not the "new black." Is your drivetrain pink too?:rainbow:
I think your buildup should include some sanding and rattle can black.
