Test fit those ruffstuff perches before you weld them. My deaver center pins were too big for the holes they laser cut. Its a pain to get the axle under the truck to realize you've gotta drill the holes out.

Thank you for the heads up. I did see your post on Dr about the issue. While I do the swap I will give the spring pack a prep.

sadly i have not made any progress with the axle. today i did go to the half off weekend at the local pick and pull. for 10 bucks i walked out with a switch panel with circuit breakers, cb antenna with two bases and a cable.

Looks like they fit together like they were from the factory. I like it.

thank you
went together like it was.
the axle came out of a 93 f-150 with a 5.0 motor with 4x4. the gear set that is in the axle is 3.55 l/s. the track width of this axle/wheel combo is 74" out side of tread to out side of tread.
Very nice and very repped!

thank you. when you say "very repped" are you trying to say "way to represent"?
That too lol. What I meant by that was I added to your 'reputation' and that you deserved it

You cut the end of the bed up at an angle? You parked farther forward?
