The drums and shoes on the rear from my parts truck are like new so I'm going to reuse them but everything else is new. I ordered a Clear Gearz diff cover from Summit and some Rust Encapsulator from Eastwood so I should be able to get the rear end overhaul done at the same time I put the discs on the front. I also ended up getting the Stage 2 suspension package from Performance Online with 1" drop springs for the front and 4" in the back. It also comes with front and rear sway bars and an adjustable track bar so hopefully the truck will handle better. I got the brake kit from POL too, and it has 2.5" drop spindles to make my total drop 3.5" in the front and 4" in the rear. I also go a set of upper and lower tubular control arms from POL. I'm going to replace all the bushings while I have everything apart as well as the tie rod ends, pitman arm, and the idler arm. My buddy said he'll let me use his garage so I won't have to worry about the housing office while I do the drop.

You should take some of that money you robbed from your insurance and use it towards driving classes? YOu sure seem pretty non chalant about speeding, losing control, and almost killing another driver....
How would you of felt if it was your baby in that other car and someone else was driving recklessly and slammed into them? Dont mean to be a dick, but i just had my first set of twins and hearing stories like this makes me sick.
Good luck with the truck though.
