Thanks Kim, we're getting plenty of practice!

Yep, 2WD box with a high steer crossover. The pitman arm is 6.5" center to center.



We finished up the driver's door. Just like the cab, the PO made some crappy decisions we have to live with...like welding the door hinge arms in place (poorly).

We fixed that by welding the hinge arms in really well!

If we can't adjust the arms in the doors, we don't really need access plates...sooo...

We hung the door...fits pretty well! We will have to shim it to the back about 3/32" or so though.
