Nice job, does it still fit in the garage?

From the photos it looks like you might have used blocks for some of the lift in the rear which has been known to cause problems, but you've started out better than many of us.

it is close on fitting in the garage, havent tried it yet... i need a spotter lol

good eye... yeah there is a 1.5" lift block in the back

i will get a real spring set up, but i was trying to get this thing done before deer season, and didnt have the money for real rear springs
 
not quite sure... I know for a fact the front is a lockright, the rear is some sort of lunchbox locker i assumed it was a lockright, guess I am wrong. I bought the axles from ratherbcamping, and he had bought them from ramsey. I am really pleased with these axles, but now i am really curious what the rear locker is. I'm guessing its an aussie now.

just get matching duplicolor paint from the autoparts store... couple coats of bulldog adhesion promoter, 3 coats of paint, 3 of clear and let them hang up to dry over night

the flares i got from rustys for 380 - my 50 gift card = $330
 
Update:

The holidays are treating me well so its time to dump some more money at this thing. Here is what is on the way:
-TNT Y-link Long Arm Upgrade
-Dana 30 Yukon Alloy Axle Shafts
-Currie Antirock Front Sway Bar
