    How was the color match? And yes you should paint those axle shafts otherwise they rust. Aaron found that out.

    Cam tab gussets are finally completed and welded on.

    EFF
    THAT!

    Like seriously I need a car lift. Got lots of new burns and my inside welds look like crap but who cares! They aren't going anywhere haha.

    So glad to be done with welding. I don't want to touch that thing for a while hahaha

    But anyways, seems like I'm kinda on the home stretch. God I hope my CVs don't leak...

    I also have no idea how to replace my brakes but I've figured out everything on my truck thus far so I'm sure I can do it lol

    I actually didn't mind those gussets.

    @LoadedTaco has a good write-up on the front brakes if you need a how-to.

    Winning!!

    Looks like you have the big stuff done, time for bump extensions, limit straps and all that lil goodness.

    Why did you decide not to go with the race series

    Nope, you have the standard kit. Race kit has the uniballs integrated in the LCA.

    Looks like the standard lowers, just make sure you didn't pay for the race kit.

    Just a little different design, gives you more ground clearance and saves some weight.

    Race kit uses a modified stock LBJ adapter with a little more clearance and weight savings.
