With 1.5inch blocks coming i didn't want to place this bracket perfectly straight. The block will jave a slight taper on them to help with opinion angle. So i went with 5° on ppacing the bracket. Did the same on other side but opposite of the same 5°. Hopefully when the blocks go in these will level out jist a little bit and look decent.

I dorpped the driveshaft off last week to have it extended. Couple days later they had it done and picked it up after work. I did not write down original length but i believe it was lengthened 3.5". This one i measured flange to flange and told them i wanted 33.375". I took just a little off the actual measurement to account for the minute amount of leaf spring settling.

Front alignment is tomorrow and had a decent amount to go through this afternoon after work. Really wanted this back under the truck so as soon as i get paint on it i set the heat lamp on it and occasionally rolled it.

Truck felt pretty good on the brief road trip. I felt no indication that i was gonna have to do anything with front end so i went ahead torqued the Ubolts. Torqued to 100LBS then used cutoff wheel to know the threads dow ln a little bit. Hit the ends for a quick sec with the soft pac on grinder.

You can see here how the hose naturally wanted to sit and had been for sometime since the previous owner had put it together. Which i would like to compliment him on putting the truck together with not one hanger or support on the trans lines.

This is how the hose was when they "found the leak" For whatever reason someone moved the hose and set under and against the idler pulley bracket and then ate through the hose within secs i would imagine. Its not worth my time or energy to fight with them to explain that one of them had moved this hose and caused the issue.

Cut the old hose out too disappointment he used fuel hose for atf. Which does work but is not really correct. The factory size hose is 11/32 for the trans cooler line. Fortunately Advance up the street had the correct size and hose for what i needed. A little pricey at $7/ft. Bought 4ft to replace both lines and a qt of atf.

Blocks came in for the rear from Rough Country. 1.5" is the most we could go with out extending the UBolts. Jackstand on the frame, Loosen ubolts, jack under axle. Take one tire off lean axle down, slide block in and loosely snug ubolts. Moved to the other side for same thing. With my rear pipe stand i use on back of truck. I screwed the stamd up to take a little bit of weight off the springs. Took a tape and measuring off the factory spring perches squared the axle relatively close with truck.
