    For what I have in axle shafts and u joints I'm an idiot for not buying rcv. Would of only been peanuts to make the difference...

    Oh god no lol. I need to at least run 40s first haha. I think 2 years with this d44 and 3 link, then maybe tons. Depends how much more shit I break and or how much more I bend this axle. Already bent 3/16" lol

    I've never really torqued them, I just basically go until it's tight, but not crushing the bushings.

    Yeah front. Nothing too bling but still...

    Going under a 2nd gen cummins. :cool:

    Price is around 6500. Would be more for more cool guy bling hardcore parts but for this build it wasn't needed, the stock prorock 60 is already pretty built. Add cost of locker. We're going to add a spartan ourselves. Pretty pricy but building for a friend and this is what he wanted. :p

    Wants to replace the garbage suspension and CAD 60 under the dodge with something a little more... stout.

    I feel the same about my CAD 60 suspension and steering but it's not a priority the toy does all the serious 4X4 stuff.

    I'm not sure how I feel about the shitty front AAM 10.5 they used on the newer dodges... BJs fail like every bump you hit and axle u joints wear out weekly and the wheel bearings are "seized" on to the hub and require a hydraulic ram to get off sometimes :rolleyes: On top of that I got like 15* of play in my steering wheel and the thing shakes over 60... Yet I can't find anything loose and I put a steering box stabilizer/frame brace on and it stills wobbles and wonders everywhere.

    Come link mine and I'll be glad to :p

    I'm going to rework the shackles and shackle hangers to work on that. Really the springs need to be wheeled and broken in some more. The shock is not maxed and the shackle isn't even at 90* in the pic
