Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
So dont tell me I spelled it wrong! You knew what I ment.

i know. i've got to put braided lines on the front and upgrade to an 80 series master cylinder so when I have those ready to go in i will pull the axle out and redrill the perch so i only have to bleed my brakes once. truck won't be back on the road till mid april anyways. not theres any trouble with driving it on the street how it is.

I myself could raise my motor about 1" with out a body lift but my tranny/tcase is another story

Square.

i would like too but i dont want to go through the trouble and have to do it again when i get duals. plus it will get driven a bit with the hubs locked. I've contemplated it many times.

got any pictures? how did you keep it even?  i have a spare ds sitting in my bed right now. this sounds like a pretty good idea. Are you concerned about your welds breaking?

My square shaft is good to about 45 before the vibes get too bad to go faster. For a $25 shaft tahts not too bad.

my welds are strong and not worried at all I kept it straight by putting the mail splines inside to keep it aligned

So who are you all using for flat pitman arms? I am thinking about doing this, but the Sky arm I have been looking at has had some strange reviews concerning it being too short. Are you guys making your own frame plates/steering box mounts? Or buying them? Just curious. Thanks.
