gonna just go with the non adjustable arms. im only lifted no more than 3" and with the 2500 control arms i can go up a little more because i wont be limited by the 1500's geometry.

 

True.. I would only go the route of adjustable if I was planning larger lift

 

yeah im staying relatively low on height. im going to run 35's and 4.88's next year. but other than that, im staying stockish.

 

sounds like a good plan.. Running any kind of locker?

 

some flavor of an lsd... if i decide to not sell the d70 and install it ill already have an lsd. but im thinkin a d60 is a better idea. but i gotta find one with 3.55's

 

+1 on this even though you got it covered RR.


The cost is purely dependent on the joint you get, which I have $60 ones. You can get cheaper ones, like prodigy joints from DOR that fight stock brackets for example, and yeah find a machine/welder shop to weld them up. If you have time, then it would make sense. If TGC can accommodate your axle splice, then great.

 

would making the cam bolt slotted holes on the axle bigger be ok? that was my first idea but didnt think it was smart becauae it needs to be precise.

talked to TGC a couple hours ago... gonna call me back on monday to see if the can custom make the CA's for me with all the right bushings. cant wait to get this axle installed. but its not happening til the snow is gone and its a bit warmer out just in case i run into a snag.

 

You don't think you file 1 mm off each side?

Just take your time with it.

 

It isn't the slot that holds the bolt/control arm in place anyway, its the channel that the cam on the bolt goes into that locates everything.

 

you guys are the best! now i just gotta get something so i can cut the old bolts out with. i have a sawzall, and a 3" cut off grinder for my air compressor.

any other ideas?

im just glad to be back. the mother board went to hell on my laptop this am, wont start up, so i bit the bullet and went to rent a center and got a new laptop, gonna pay it off with tax returns. only gonna run me about 400, and its practically brand new!
