I took the ball joint axle out.

heres the kingpin axle

got it in, and I still need to put new lockouts, barings in the pinion, steering stabilizers on, and I think I'm going to put a track bar on also.

I also put another inch in the rear, here it is

then the tires weren't balanced right so I put my jeeps 35 inch mud tires on it and it drives fine so ill get mine rebalanced and put them on sometime.

I also had the exhaust done

and benoit454 heres some stuff I had to do to get things to work. I had to take a notch out of the steering arm so it wouldn't hit the shock mounts.

then I had to flip one of the cross members over so it wouldn't hit the rear drive shaft.
