Re: diff swap help.

You have to cut off the spring perches and move them inward about 1 inch each, you can get new ones for about $25. Also the shock mounts on our trucks both face forward, on the newer axles one faces forward and one faces rearward, so you have to cut that off and move it too.

Sorry! Nevermind! I have a 4x4 and leaf springs on my mind! Not sure about the 2 wheel drive rears.
