Had some case fluid drip out as a result of extending sliding yoke. Pan was just to catch anymore. Left spot at my buddies driveway. Haha

Had a pretty good saturday morning. Dropped the front axle down, rebushed the sway bar, installed new front springs (3500 diesel 4x4 with snow plow prep rating), and had it aligned. Picked up another inch over the other diesel springs I installed so the truck sits nearly level now. I'm all set for my new 315's that arrive on monday.

I did. You can't do anything without the last 8 digits of a VIN. I found a nice 3500 locally that sat right up. I talked with the owner and found he bought it new and what options were on it, took down the VIN number and ordered the springs through a friend that works for Mopar. These springs put me 2 1/2" higher than my worn out V10 springs. I'll pm you the numbers if you like when I get back to the house.
