Match gears, bolt in, make sure your wheels don't stick out too far, install flares if needed, have fun?

you just need to think of everything step by step. double check your measurements.

i'd do it this way, get your perch's on the axle (NOT WELDED) then put it under your truck. a little tap tap this way, and a tap tap that way to cent it. then set your pinion angle, tack weld the perch's in place. then remove and weld the rest. then go from there!

all you gotta do is change the flange at the ujoint, if you are using the real driveshaft.. if using the cv axle thing, then change it anyways... lol
