    Why? Nothing is changing other than the width of the housing and he is getting besides. So won't have clearance issues.

    I was worried about the cycling... but I couldn't see the need for it if all geometry is the same. I'll have to talk to Jeff once I get the truck in a few days , I'm sure he will give me a good run down

    Oh well that's just placing the shock stuff and pads. Which if he measures right he would have to work too hard for that.

    Pinion angle he will need to cycle for so it'll be good to check.


    Short version is tac first measure twice weld once

    Any idea what that ran? I couldn't imagine building a truck to just sell it immediately.

    Thats what everyone says. But life changes. Spend all your spare cash on building a race truck. While waiting the year and a half to get it back, you meet a girl..knock her up. get married and decide that you could really use the 30-60k on supporting your family.

    Or something like that.

    NO!! This is the Long Travel and BS Thread. We do not discuss LT topics more than once.

    Please continue with the BS.

    Curious because I'm doing my tundra axle soon. Would adding a carrier bearing spacer before finding the pinion angle be beneficial at all, just to help slightly reduce the angle of the driveline at droop?

    Yes look at the kartek weld on reservoir mounts. You can probably get them mounted on your secondary hoop in a manner that would work for you
