    Looks like it was a fun weekend. Sorry I couldn't make it I had a Accounting final at 9 a.m. yesterday. How did the Chevy's do? I remember reading a post somewhere about a guy having problems getting traction on hill climbs cause the springs were a little too flexy.

    They're doing good. I still need to fine tune them a little. Im going to redo the shock mount because its too bouncy.

    So I took Crazy Eric back to Art Lilley and checked on C.J. and Kyle. While we were messin' around some dumbass in a wrangler almost rolled his Jeep in the mudhole. I gave Kyle my strap and said "I'm getting the fuck out of here" :laughing:

    Nice. Are you going to use the Ford mounts? I don't remember if you can even use them in the back or not :eek:

    I am secretly in love with your truck lol

    You can use f250 front shock towers for the front, instead of using shock hoops

    Ordered 2 more small but very important pieces to ensure success. :cool:

    Installation of the 4.7 gears and a few more goodies are planned for Dec 26th. I will have access to air tools, shop, press and other needed tools. :D

    Im so undecided about what to do about locking it im just going to wait till it get closer to April. Might do auto lockers? I would like to find a complete e-locker rear at a junk yard, that would make the rear wider while I was at it. :notsure: I'd like to do it right the first time since I plan on keeping the truck.

    I was really undecided about lockers as well, I kept going back and forth in decisions. Now I have a hard time turning when crawling and can't turn at all when stopped with the hubs locked. Thats why I finally said f*** it and got the selectable for the front :rolleyes:.

    After Christmas I am getting my dual cases. :woot: I am excited for us to be crawling next year :D
