It's getting a hp44 and a ford 9" with 4.88's and detroits. Thanks for all the comments guys. it's kinda hard to stay motivated to do SOMETHING when your parts aren't in yet. I can't believe it's only 2 weeks til SB3. That will be a sweet combo!! I know how you feel about the parts but when they all start to roll in its like christmas ever day, and thats the best!!!!

yeah, except on xmas i don't have to run my arse off to get things put together. spent another 360 bucks today. 4 new rotors, 2 more new calipers, 2 sets of brake pads, 2 brake lines, banjo bolts, crush washers, misc brake fittings to replumb the brakes now that there's no more abs (YAY!!!!!), u-joints and.... ummm... oh yeah! the brake pin/bolts. still need to get one more set of those. so as soon as my lift comes in, i can start welding spring buckets and tabs to the axles and then start to assemble everything. still need to get a driveshaft made, so this week i HAVE to get it sitting on the tires under weight so i can measure up the driveshaft length. So much work!!!! I'm gonna have to pull a Randy on this one.

Ok, it's been a rediculously crazy weekend. nothing seemed to go right and if it weren't for bad luck..... I'd have no luck at all. Not getting my front axle back until monday, so that puts me Waaaaaay behind schedule. I guess it's not too bad because all of the hard stuff is done. Got the lift in Friday FINALLY!!! sooooo i dry humped the boxes Front high clearance axle bracket kit and front long arms Rear high clearance axle bracket kit and rear upper and lower arms New BEEFY crossmember to replace my "tin" factory crossmember holy stickers batman!!! sent me a stack of them! one of them is gonna have to go on Hailey's Barbie powerwheels jeep lazer cut goodness old and new front and rear springs. front on the left, rear on the right Got my new rubbers finally! 35x12.5 R15 Cooper Discoverer STT (almost identical to the Toyo open country mt but alot cheaper) and new 15x10 wheels. Got the new crossmember in. Welding the truss and all the other brackets onto the 9" All finished up some floorjack flexin. this thing is going to have sooooo much droop. if i had jackstands that were about a foot taller, i'm sure the axle could have dropped about another 5-10 inches. axle sitting on jackstands with springs in place. needs to jack the axle up about another 4-5 inches before i can mount the tire. now i just have to finish all of my welds and wait for my front axle to get here.
