I was thinking about that if I can find some close to the length that I need hopefully longer would be great. I can cut it at home to the length I need if I find the right pieces. I just don't have a welder nor have I ever welded.

Oh yeah i can weld for you. I have a 110 flux cored wire feed but it gets the job dont i've welded most everything on my truck with it.
Just let me know when you want some welding done or wanna meet up for a beer

I finally got my driveshaft back in (just got it lengthened) and the Ujoint is binding, but only when the grease nipple is at the top... I could probably just clearance it with a small dremmel or something like that, but I cant imagine it at full droop.
What length were your shackles for the front spring?
I have the Sky MFG boomerangs, I think the're 5.5", that may be why my pinion is pretty much flat

Yeah i just did my rear driveshaft the other day now i'm all good to go there.
Thats strange that your binding... mine are smooth as butter and i have 2 extra leafs in the pack plus the overloads (maybe an extra inch of lift) then another inch or so from the front hanger and 5" Downey spring shackles. Maybe the perches were different in 83 or something idk.
