The install is done. Had to make 2 trips to the hardware store to pick up $20 bucks of missing hardware. Ill clean the truck and post pics tommorrow. The only prob i have is at slow speeds i can hear a soft grinding noise coming of the driver side front. Sounds like its around the tire, ill investgate tommorrow.

why were the drive shaft bolts to long did you use the 1/4 moon spacers from the factory drive shaft? If I remember correctly you are suppose to use them.

Never heard of them....i had to get bolts for the yoke that attaches to the t-case. You could get 2 in but the other 4 were too long.
