How the heck did you manage to do that? Is that the Diff in the first pic at about a 15* angle? UFFFFF!

I'm pretty sure that the cable is his winch cable and it's holding his DS CV shaft after it seperated...

Looks to me that the bushings were the only thing holding the diff in place to begin with. If this is true that is a very stupid design and would never want to run it on my junk...

So you mean that adding any extra brackets, other than spring hangers, to your stock suspension is a bad idea?

Simply amazing!

I guess my question is, what were you doing when this happened? Were you offroading or did it blow itself apart on the street?

I can figure out the cross member, but those bolts coming donw into it I can't figure out a purpose for...looks like something my 3-year would put together!

Here is what it looked like when all was right in the world... Man, that is just sick the way your front end diff is all screwed up. Check your PM.

How high is the truck lifted all together? Did it mess up you rack and pinion also? I was thinking about the pro comp lift as I have seen a double cab I like with one on it.
