Now why would you want to do that?

I knew it would be low.

I would like to see a shot of the pinion for curiousities sake.

You have proven it can be done, we shall see who follows suit or who else breaks new ground.

Silly Cheese, you know that if I built it, it will have a perfect camber and caster setting.

U-Joint at the pinion is pretty much streight, one at the case has a slight angle.

That caster correction really iced the cake.

Unless you tell people that you have converted to a solid axle how many web wheelers will even know that it is diffferent? If you decide to sell just say it is "lifted".

Steve, do you have the new rear springs in yet?

No. I called them yesterday and it took 2 weeks to type the order into the computer, another 2 weeks for some guy off site to engineer them and finally another 2+ weeks to build them.

I called on 2-28-05, but my 4 week start date is 3-11-2005.

I'm going to make some spacers to use until the coils get done some day.

I called a place in CA, this other place is in Kansas, and they want me to send the Downey coils in as well and it will still take 4 weeks. They also want twice the price.

The rear is 2.5" low right now. I'll just build a 2.5" spacer out of pipe and some plate and use the Downey coils for now.
