    Made some progress today

    Removed the old 8" 2.80 rear end with factory original leaf springs. Replaced with 9" with 3.50 gears and TracLok and composite springs (thanks Tubo). This was a milestone project. Only about twenty more to go.

    What is the ride height with the new springs?  Make your first road trip in the direction of my place so I can check it out!

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Both rears measure 14.5", but it is still sitting on the lift. I reversed the spring eyes. I'm going to put the 5 speed in next, so it will be on the lift for a while.
