My son wandered into the garage, so I got him to bolt the leafs to the axle.. The 10 bolt diff from my donor truck was pretty crusty so I'm using a different 10 bolt I had kickin around from an 89 Suburban. (at least to mock everything up) I haven't checked to see what the gear ratio is yet, if I get lucky and it matches the rear, I might use this one till I find some 3/4 ton diffs.
I set the rad support in place to get an idea of the ride height. I realize it's going to sit higher right now with no drivetrain or front clip, but is it just me, or does it look like these leafs I used might have a few inches of lift??
