Got the 14ff under there and bolted up so it looks alright, gonna pull it again anyway, just wanted something asthetically pleasing for the neighbors for a few days.
Found a shop in town to bend some custom flat u-bolts like the 14ff originals...
the rear end is on flats, and w 4"lift it still sits higher than the stock height front w/31's, kinda scary.....glad we shaved the 14 as with the original lip, sitting on rims like it is, a brick may not have fit under the rear end...
Still negotiating a d44 8lug already geared to 4.11 out of Oklahoma...
Waiting to get slammed with parts and day now... 
Get ready

I do have a few things to mess with ... stud on the t-case cross, bumpstops, e-brake cables are to tight ... and I need to figure out a way to easily dissconnect the steering stablizer so I don't trash this one. Nothing that will stop me from helping ya out though.

Uh oh...stuff started coming in.... But to my Lafayette address?!?!!?  WTF I told them my shipping address but they also asked for my home billing address....I told them to ship here not there... my dad calls tonight "You have a 15x4x4 package here that weighs like 40lbs"
Luckily my special delivery person lives in Laf so it will be here right on schedule tomorrow... Still not enough junk to justify a full blow WOT party again, all of this stuff is bolt on... Still getting stoked...

mini WOT went fine, glad rob showed up for a few minutes to help. Jessica was having trouble handling half the 14bolt.....
I got the 14bolt permanently under the truck, sucks as I had to grind my own relocated rewelded shock mounts yet again, as they were in the way of the u-bolts and mounting plates, they are last on my list as of now, still no new headers, front springs, or disc conv. brackets... 
I also got the front two 33's mounted on their rims and on the truck...wish I had a camera, my truck is gonna be a bit tall....bought a brand new pepboy's 5gal bucket for Jessica to get in on...did some over kill as well, got 14 grade 8 diff cover bolts 3/8" thick...and 16 1/2" axle shaft bolts that hold the FF axles in.....
Tomorrow I plan on installing the new front shackles and steering box brace, while praying for my new springs, headers, rims, and disc conversion brackets to come in...I have monday and wed of this week off, trying to get friday off so I'll have a final day to WOT through the night if need be...
