I still have my front RK springs here if you want them - just say the word. Gruff never sat level with them unloaded, but did even out when I had all my shit in the back.

Thanks Dave.
If I get home in time tonight, I will be able to get it back sitting on the tires and see where it is, at least empty. I just have a few loose ends to tie up then it's ready.
Then after I see what it looks like, make a decision on what to do next.
I love the ride on the EVO plushrides, so I was thinking maybe going up to a 4" pair for the front.

Thanks!
Glad to see you back, it's been a while.
Are you still, or already, moving back to Cali?

It has been awhile. I have been pretty busy with work and did some traveling with the wife and boy. Out with no service. Was really nice to break free and not have to worry about phones, TV, or Coronavirus bullshit.
We put off moving to Cali for a bit due to low oil price affecting my work a bit and Covid. It will happen just not sure when now.

Glad to hear you still have a job. I was wondering what was going on since lroces are down.

I have only the big bore PSC and no need for the hydro. Try it first...

I ran mine that way for years. But There’s no comparison to the ram on the rocks. It makes maneuvering so much easier.

Got it back on its wheels, for now at least.
Not sure if I like how high the rear is with the springs Ddays sent. On the other hand, it's pretty much empty now, so when I load it up I will see then.
Ran remote diff breathers up to the firewall with the knock off ARB kit.
I may hunt down the trans and transfer case to go there as well, since it has four ports.
I got the manifold for the ARB, and I think my plan will work to put it all under the spare tire. That's next on the agenda.
Oh, I found out my 1350 front driveshaft was really a 1310
.
I never looked at it close before, but when I set it next to the rear, the difference was obvious.
Now I'm debating, get a whole new 1350 with transfer case yoke, and sell the 1310, or just get a 1350 slip for the current one.
It's only money, right?

That's a bit taller than what I'm used to, but maybe it will keep me from dragging the belly on everything.
If I get 4" fronts, it should match better. I'm ok with a little tail high, just not too much.
Plus, I'm wider now with the new axles, so that makes up for the height to keep it stable.

You could get a combo joint and use the 1310 shaft with the 1350 yolk on the diff.

That's what I was saying as one option, the other being to get the full 1350 shaft now.
I will have pricing tomorrow and decide what to do then.

Well, I thought it would be simple to make a couple of brackets and mount the compressor.
Wrong
6 hours later, I think I have it bolted in where it will work, and clear the tire and wheel when it's mounted in the carrier.
Next up, wiring it in and running the lines to the axles.
