All the parts showed up so I got all the perches and buckets welded in and got part of the links ready. It was about a 10 hour day getting this done. Tommorow I will do bushings and try to make some progress on the links.

Well all the parts finally showed up.

Here is a pic of them out of the box.

Axle rolled out so I can finish cutting the brackets off and put the new spring perches on.

Passenger side perch tacked in place.

Drivers side tacked in place. I had to modify this perch for the cast diff. I also had to weld it differently because of the cast.  Got a cast/mild steel rod and pre/post heated the cast.  Seems to be pretty solid weld.  Time will only tell.

Spring sitting in place. These are the Cage EB 5.5" Progressive Rate springs.

Picture from the rear passenger side of the link mocked in place and the spring in place.  Now to finish the Y's in the links and get all the weld burnt in.  Oh and do a track bar and brackets and brakes.
