Haha wow that's quite a road trip. Well I decided that I was going to swap axles. I looked into to s10 axles because they're cheap and abundant but then I wanted to stay eight lug and 5 to 8 lug adapters are around $120... So I found a dana 60 out of a 79 F350 with 4.11 gears and picked it up for not much more then just the adapters ha. So I am going to run that for more mild cruising manners. Just have to check/change the yoke and move the spring perches inward to meet the trucks leafs.
