    ...too much shit to list.
    Unless you have a jig you'll warp the axle with a truss like that. All the truss is on the back side of the axle so it will pull the axle tubes when you add heat.
    Some people pre-bend the axle tubes forward before welding...but then you're just guessing how much it's gonna warp.

    I know that, just making sure he does. :) Wouldn't want him to go out and buy the kit just to find out he has to buy a whole new rear axle

    Have you seen an axle jig? At a minimum you'll need a spare carrier and a shit ton of thick material and some ingenuity.

    There are easier ways to truss an axle without the need of a jig though.

    Like mine.
    Truss is wide so that it extends to very top and bottom of the axle tubes. The heat you add will be 180* apart and pull opposite of eachother. Do a few stitches on all sides and burn everything in.

    Can a 14" spring work temporarily on an 8" King shock with a TC 3.5" kit?

    I know most use the 16" spring, I just don't know if King has them in stock.
