You should really think about swapping to the larger 3/4-1 ton master cylinder\booster assembly. You can get away with the 1/2 ton stuff but your brakes will not be as good as they should be due to the lack of fluid capacity\volume that the larger booster\MC can provide.

Alright I got my truck back finally. Axles sure make the truck look beefy. So far no issues other than my steering wheel is upside down, not sure how that happened. The wheels might be out-of-balance too, a slight vibration going at lower speeds. Discovered the d60 perches are higher than the d44 so my front sits up higher, which i like, now id like the back to be a little higher. Got rid of the double stacked blocks in the back too. I thought I would be able to tell a big difference going from 35s with 3.55 gearing to 33s with 4.10s but I cant really notice anymore. Funny though, before my speedometer read faster then I really was, now it reads slower. Once I get 35s again maybe itll even out.

Heres a couple picks of the after.

loaded down with my old tires and the ones from the donor truck, traded my axles for them, maybe not the best deal but I can get use out of the other wheels and tires.

Looks nice. Does the rear have some sort of locker in it?

Just btw, when I went to 4.56 w/ 35's, my speedo reports fast at about ~ 15%

Sweet! Your frame looks clean too! I'd guess you aren't from the rust-belt.
