well i just finished doing my rear main on my 90 with 3" and 31's
WHAT A PAIN IN THE A$$
but i can't imagine how much worse it would have been without the knowledge i find here, some issues i had were clearance with my steering stabilizer and i had to drop my sway bar down to get a lil extra room to slide the pan out. by far the hardest part was cleaning the oem gasket off of everything, and the second most PITA was getting my 1 peice gasket to stay in place while i got the pan lined up, i ended up blotting the block with red rtv and bolting the gasket into place and letting it dry for about an hour
all total it took me about 7 hours to do with me taking about 45 minutes for a lunch break and running to true value to get some new pan bolts (must have kicked them to god knows where)
anyways my real point of this thread is to thank everyone who has helped me as far as advice and all the good writeups i found while searching
so thanks to all that are so very gracious to offer sound advice
