Got the 14 bolt pulled and sold. Went ahead and pulled the 4l80e and NP208c transfer case too. Dropped the 4L80e off at my trans shop to be converted to 2wd. I also bought a poly urethane A-arm bushing kit, ball joints, calipers, rotors, ceramic pads, brake hoses, pitman arm, and steering box for the front end rebuild (mostly from RockAuto).

Burned out the old bushings last night, still need to remove the bushing 'cups'. I plan on getting the 5.3 pulled today and start on removing the rear 4x4 spring hangers to replace them with the 2wd versions.

Pics as requested:
