well I found a good deal on a waggy d44, so I'm going to go with it. It's already set up with 5.38's, detroit, crossover steering, spare shafts, etc. Still trying to find a trailer to get everything from raleigh, but hopefully it will be soon. Sucks working 60 hours/week--I need to find a 9-5 w/ weekends off!! I should've had the truck half built by now <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

I'll probably leave the axle as is, but I'd like to step up to alloy shafts and heavy duty u-joints sometime in the future.

Since the axle is already setup SOA, and I want to keep the lift down as much as possible, I will try to run a fairly flat spring and put the spring hanger at the point in the frame where it slopes upward and run the shackle up front.

Hopefully I will have some pics to share sometime soon <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
