ya on the day of swap its getting the knuckles, brakes, hub bearings, and locker out of my other turdy. i will make my new track bar and hopefully have a solid diff cover on it but im not sure if the otk ton rods will hit it at full lock. i still need to put new u joints in my extra set of shafts, press on the new ball joints and have my brothers friend reset the gears cause whoever originally set them up didnt shim them perfectly.

Why didn't you move the control arm mounts up instead of leaving them below the axle?

That's cast iron you want to weld with a high nickel rod. D30 is cast steel.
because i didnt want to have to cut my control arms shorter to keep the axle in the same position or have to get a new front drive shaft. i want to move the axle forward but now is not a good time for extra things like that. i also want to move the rear back and comp cut the rear.
thanks me too. im pretty pleased with how it all turned out. :yap:
yes true glad not everyone is misinformed. :laugh:

Inform the un-informed,.... Does the term 3 link / tri link mean you do not need 2 UCA mounts?
I noticed there was none where the truss is. :dunno:

yep. 3 link has no passenger side UCA. the 2 lowers locate the axle and the one upper just counteracts torque.

Thinking about going 3link myself, do you not need to reinforce the mount on the case then? Unless I missed something it doesn't look like you reinforced that upper mount.

haha, don't know that much about it.
me neither. looks like more prep work to keep it clean could be done... but don't quote me on that.
no need to reinforce it, its the diff housing it wont break, or at least ive never seen one break or hear of one break.
