I got a spare rear end with the truck, so instead of dealing with the brakes, input shaft bearing and seals on the old one, I cleaned up the spare (<30k miles according to the PO) and had the springs rearched.

I always think I'll bring it back to the spring shop to have him massage a bit more of the cruiser lean out of it. You can see the difference between the shackle angles in the last picture. The u-bolts and plates are the only thing I've had powder coated so far. They came out nice, but not 10x nicer than rustoleum, so that's been my weapon of choice since then. You can take the boy out of the farm, but...

A year later it needs a seal on one side, so an Aussie locker is in my immediate future if they ever get any in stock.

Notice the dual exhaust. It came from a 2x3 header.
