Finally got the housing from under the truck.
The replacement. Already cut the stock perches off and shaved the drain plug. It's waiting for diff armor, perches, and shock mounts from the bent housing.
It's lived a good life. Spent 4 years on 40's. Can't complain at all about these Toyota axles and the tire size I've abused them to.
Shafts look good. No spline twists. They're ready to slide into the new housing.
Marlin Crawler sells these Daystar spring bushings for the Bilstein shocks to mount them in the factory location. I'm tired of running my rear shocks at an angle like this /\. Getting the shocks like this || will help out a ton with my body roll and I'll get more out of the shocks. I've ran the rear missing one shock and couldn't tell it was missing. That's not good.
Might as well replace all the leaf spring bushings while I have it torn apart.
Scotty from Addicted Off Road hooked me up with a new U joint for the rear driveshaft. It's gotten really bad and needs changed.
