some progress DS cleaned up and installed, shocks mocked and today started on the exhaust kit . Im going to have to fab a bracket, something to hold the mounts to the after market shock cross member modify the H- pipe so it will run thru the trailing arm C-member. Anybody that has used this kit( Flowmaster american thunder )have pictures they can share?

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
I tried the "Pypes" 2.5" duals kit designed for our trucks and had to return it because I have the same trailing arm crossmember. These 2 systems (Flo-Master and Pypes) are intended to run underneath the the factory trailing arm crossmember. The only solution I could find was to buy a builders kit and route it where I needed it to go, not too bad a job and actually cheaper as well. If I can find some pics I'll PM them to you.

This is what I did to get around the problem of the Pypes 2.5" kit not going through the crossmember. It is a builders kit from Summit, and it was about half the price of the kit that as "designed" for the truck. Not raggin' on the kit at all, it just didn't work with a lowered truck.

live learn and pay for my mistakes but thanks to Grumpy Im comfy ( that rhymes ) with the drive shaft position of the yoke what a difference an inch makes :) size does matter...... 2nd pic short by an inch 3rd pic is correct amount of yoke in the tail shaft all that being said between my lack of knowledge and the D-shaft shop balancing fee new spicer u joints cause the shop dosent like Moog I could have had a new one built from scratch): waiting on some SS exhaust parts to modify exhaust and looking at the degree of angle of tale shaft and pinion angle ill buy a protractor and use it one time ....on the bright side no vibration and ill have a protractor in my toll box good news HF there no more than 5 bucks :)
