    Wish I had the funds to 4 link the rear right now but this will do fine for now. Gonna install rear axle tomorrow.

    As I collect parts for my swap I have a question for the 1st gen guys that are full width. What backspacing do you have on your wheels? There are some Trailready beadlocks locally to me for sale and the have a 5 inch backspace.

    Links. Truss, ram guard and link mounts will be added to the axle this week.

    What about the housing on the driver side around the axle tube? It looks like you have more to cut off to me, unless you're attaching your link mounts to the truss.

    No rubbing. I used to rub the steering box, cab and leaf springs with the old axle. I get as much steering as a toyota axle offers now. I did tub the cab a little but nothing like most people. I will link mine and push the axle foward before I ever do that again though
