I went ahead and painted the rear, as you have noticed in the above pic. I still need a little longer dog bone for the canti, so that the shocks will fit. You should also be able to see in the above pic, where I built the crossmember in front of the rear end. I still have to gather the parts for the rear disk conversion (thanks glock35!) and am going to put an lsd in the 3.73 12 bolt.
After going back to the front, I realized there was not enough room between the stock control arms and the harmonic balancer. I ended up buying a set of strong arms. This gives me an extra 1 1/4". IF that's not enough room, I
will have to buy a 6" balancer. Also. switching control arms caused me to be about 9/16" from laying in the front. I have parts to make upper cups. I believe I can use upper cups and do a little trimming on the spring pockets and get what is needed to lay again. In the meanwhile, I welded up everything on the passenger fender and got it in primer. I also stripped all of the paint off of the cab, both front doors and both fenders and primed. Here's some pics of how it sits now! I haven't touched the truck since the 1st of dec, but I hope to be able to work on it again soon. I've just been waiting on it to warm up a little.
