    I ran into a problem getting the brake caliper on yesterday. It didnt have enough brake pad contact to the rotor. Back to the drawing board. I need to make some changes to this spindle to make it work. David has a bunch of pics he took and he can post them if he wants. Ill get this worked out soon and be posting back up updates soon.

    Picture of the truck (side view) is not on jack stands on the driver side. So that's about 70% of the weight on it
