You certainly are the poster child for unsafe work practices. I present the following:

Using concrete blocks to support the weight of a vehicle is a big no-no. Were you also instructing someone to, "Hold mah beer 'n watch this"?

That would be a little scary to crawl under.

With my 34.6" tires and 4.56 gears I am at 1900 RMS at 65. At 75 I am just shy of 2400 though. My truck burns gas more than I can drink beer... and that's a lot!

I was working on my truck alone. And had no other way to be able to get jack stands under it high enough. I now have my own shop with a lift so it's much easier. And I don't tend to be drinkin when I work on a vehicle. An billcart that's how my truck is its takes gas down like its water lol. More then annoying.

So I'll be picking up a set of 14 inch leafs for 800$ and 14 inch coils for 400$ which surprisingly isn't to bad. My buddy and I are going to fab up some nice adjustable long arms and brackets. And I'll be getting a transfer case indexing ring and a cross member drop bracket. Hopefully I can start working on this thing soon. Excited to see her finally getting done!

Where did you get that rear diff cover? I wonder if there is any chance they make a cover like that for the 9 1/4.

99ram360 I found it on a site they were discontinued and if I remember correct they didn't have any for a 9 1/4 rear. I'll try and find the bookmark on my computer when I get home for you.

Thanks man.

I figured they wouldn't have one for the 9 1/4 there is not a lot of aftermarket support as I am sure you know.

Sweet truck by the way, I bet its wicked in mud.
