Despite water pump issues, we are still making forward progress.
Time to install the new Sid's lowered 1/2 ton axle.
Height reference picture!!
15 minutes and a grinder with a skinny wheel and the stock 3/4 ton axle was out.
The ultimate goal is a 5"-6" drop. The axle is 4" drop, so the remaining 2" of drop will come from tires and removing some leaves from the spring pack. To start I removed 2 from the bottom of the stack. The spring retainer bolt came out easy, but I replaced it anyway.
Today I need to round up a puller for the steering arm and start installing the new stuff!!
