Comin along nicely man, cant wait to see pics

 

It is! The front is going in rather nicely, and trouble free. Upper control arms were fun, but they are in now.

Finishin up the lower arms and trac bar now. I have plenty of pics.

The 60 makes the 44 look like a toy

 

It does doesn't it. Itty bitty u-joints in the 44 knuckle compared to the 60's. Makes you wonder why they even messed with the 44.

 

Weight. Which translates to fuel consumption. Not that I think it made a whole lotta difference.... I get the same or better mileage with my truck, than some of the half-ton guys.

 

Best guess on my end is I added 400lbs to unsprung weight when I upgraded to the 60's and another 30lbs for the 241 over the 231. Can I tell the extra weight is there you bet, at first I had some bad mpg after the install but now that most of the bugs have been worked out it's about the same as before. I am not going to get upset if it goes down by one or three points, I will save that in replacment parts by going to the 60's.

 

Track bar and control arms are in

 

Hey, call me behind the times, but, that looks a lot like a non-cad axle. What did that come out of?

 

That's because it is a non-cad axle. Came out of a late model 2002 2500. Second half of 2002 they switched over to no cads.

It's a big plus IMHO

 

No kill like the over kill I always say. Good progress Ham.

 

Ball joints are in on the passenger side!

Having trouble getting the driver side lower control arm to align up right.
