Well I bolted up the rear end with the Ubolts I got. nothing welded or tightened real good Im just doing it to hold things in place. So soon as I can get a angle finder I can match up the pinion in the rear then get the perches tached in place, and pull the ubolts back out.
After that I will remove the front axle and install my 5.12's, weld perches.

Got the front axle in and bolted up. Now I need to get a angle finder and set the rear pinion but here is what she looks like so far.
This 2nd picture you can see how much wider the rear axle is when compared to the front. Wheel spacers will fix that 
This is from the ground to the middle of the fender flare on the front
This is the rear
Rear
Now I can set the rear pinion get that all welded and put back in, then remove the front diff for 5.'12's install

Well I found them but I dont have the money, I used a level and the pinion was dead on with me just eyeing it when I was bolting it up the other day.
probally wont have it at the fall crawl due to money issues though. might not even be ready either.

No I will be putting in the gears in the front diff next week or soon as my dial indicator i ordered gets here.
I also would have to tow it and I have no money to build bumpers for my towbar brackets. I will probally wheel it around the 5 arces here to test it out.
