Unfortunately.... I've opted for a dana 60 front with a sterling 10.5 rear so i scrapped the old axles and sold them on criagslist. so i'm ebayn and calling tryn to get a decent price on some complete axles. brakes and all so i can at least get them in there and test the suspension before i dump money into the gears and lockers.

Ok cool. Thats a big pumpkin to be under the truck on the dana 60. I know it is a bit of a drive but here is an example of an axle for sale. This website is really good at listing parts. Many peeps from Va on here as well. http://www.nc4x4.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125833

I didn't read in detail but I thought you boated & reinforced the rockers so you wouldn't have to put any sliders on? Either way, it's looking good. Any tips on boating rockers?

Rockers are pretty easy to do! I used 16ga. but you can go heavier if you'd like, the rockers were just to clear up some space, i intend on using the sliders to their design thats why i put them in. but if u ever feel froggy and have a few extra bucks you could always come down on a weekend and we could cut into urs. I do enjoy removing metal!! I gotthe plasma cutter and the cut wheels and grinder so we could make it a bit more attractive then mine but thoughs tools plus the mig and 4lb engineering hammer are all i used to make mine.
Thanks for the remarks and its still a work in progress!!
