i would either swap axles which would be best IMO, or if it were my truck i would get wheel adapters until i got the money for the axle. If it were my truck. I do know of people running wheel adapters as well that dont have any problems with them.

 

yes but wheel adapters are about 200-300 which is crazy

so heres my plan

Moser Engineering - Part # C30CST -Custom Length C-Clip 30 Spline Axles - C-Clip Axles - CUSTOM REAR AXLES - Axles - Custom

 

Check out Dutchman Motorsports as well. I have bought several axle shafts from them with no issues.

 

update

got the lift kit just waiting on some more por15
got the wrong 3.73 ring and pinion because I don't have a crush sleeve so waiting on the new one
got master install kit guys have any tricks to getting old racers off carrier
got tons of small things new ball joints, seals, steering stabilizer etc
did a add a leaf in the rear ... ok so I used fabtechs long leaf and I have a 4pack leaf already forgot the rpo code buts its factory but the new leafs ended up being the same size as one of the other and overlaps alittle on one side so smart *** me installed one backwards and one in the wrong spot lmao its higher, rides the same as it did and no problems at all besids me breaking a u bolt




primer

por15 (just first coat got involved)
broken u joint is in the background it just snapped an the threads



I have a before picture just haven't took an after one yet

and for who ever told me about the special tool for the ball joints if your still following I just took a 19mm junk socket and grinded it down till I had 2 prongs and it worked just fine

 

if youre talking about the pinion bearing races, they are pretty easy. the axle should have little notches in from the backside of the races that you can get in there with a screw driver or punch and hit with a hammer. kinda hard to explain but if you want to knock out the front one look at it from the back side (through where the diff cover was) and you should see a place where you can hit it with the punch to knock them out

 

im talking about when you have the carrier out the bearings are still on it how do I remove without damaging anything. guy at work told me to just heat them up with the torch and they will pop off

 

so I have updates guys !
Friday I reassembled the axle
Saturday cut out the junk ifs
Sunday I did touched up the frame and put the axle in
still need to do brakes lines and pitman arm
so I went with 3.73 gear ratio
ill let the photos do the talking my keyboard is messed up

 

 

That looks great!

I like the stance, not too tall

 

that's was my goal and im so happy with the way it came out
