Agreed! Get boot camp over with ASAP! As far as ur build, I read through the whole thread but remind me, did u go with 5.13 in the front d30 for awhile? If so, did it do okay? Don't remember reading anything about having troubles.

yup i have had the 5.13's in my 30 for about a year now. i left the front open so i didnt have to worry about the R&P being any smaller than it already was. i always knew i was going to go with a PR44 and 37's at somepoint so i planned for the future of the R&P breaking, the housing breaking, or just finally being able to afford a PR. thankfully it was the latter and neither of the formers lol

Gotcha! Thanks. I think I'm gonna go that route for a year while I save for the 44. Good to know.

Let me know how that Adams shaft works out for you. They're located in the town I lived in when I was a kid so I've been eyeballing one of their front drive shafts for when mine shits the bed.

Well I have been putting off an alignment for quite sometime now and finally got it done yesterday. Looks like when I installed my control arms I unintentionally put some cross caster on. Looks like I will be fixing that when I install my pro rock here In the near future.

I'm in the same boat, thanks for the post. Looks like I'll install the lower control arms THEN go fix my augment, I'd hate to get it aligned and throw it off with a home CA install! Thnx

yea the tires would deff appreciate it lol
Still waiting on it to be built and shipped. this Wed will mark 3 weeks since i ordered which is what Drew told me it would be about till it shipped. hopefully it ships this week so i can install next weekend. that will allow me plenty of time to put the 500 miles on the axle before i head up to noroads house for a ski trip in January.

i honestly thought i had my control arms the same length when i installed them lol they have been like this all summer soooo yea lol :doh: i prob just need to lengthen the driver side a turn or two to get it perfect and then extend them both another turn or two to get my caster closer to 4.2*

I've been driving mine just as long with a little pull to the right. Who knows maybe I'll correct it installing my CAs LOL

Considering it's still sitting in the box yes I am happy with it. I'm gonna install it when my pro rock finally shows up
