This is the same process I used on my truck throughout, best to keep the media blast away from big flat panels. Warping can become a nightmare in short order.

I had a question.
What did you do to address your pinion angle at ride position? I may have screwed the pooch on mine as I have definite vibration from 50 mph up.
What gears are you planning on running in this truck?
thanks,
