so i got more work done today... work on the rear axle is almost done - the paint came out awesome except i F'd up a little bit.. apparently it takes forever for this stuff to dry (unlike the primer) and I didn't really wait long enough for it to dry so it turned all scaly - I'll let it dry overnight and give it one more coat tomorrow... - should smooth it out a little bit - but it's an axle so I don't really care that much.

got the front springs (just found out they were the front)** wire wheeled and painted - they came out much better since I actually waited for the paint to dry before i gave them another coat.


**side note: I ground away some paint and underneath is said ROUGH COUNTRY - well now I know what kind of springs they are! so I called up rough country to find out which springs were which (front vs rear) and from what I've gathered I might have a 4'' lift and the rears will have a greater arch (distance from the spring pin to the imaginary line drawn between the two eyes) than the front springs.. for two of the springs i got 7.5'' and for the other two i got about 9'' so I'm guessing the 9'' arch springs are the rear... is this true?

and finished putting the new pinion seal in the front axle and welded on new soft brake line brackets for the front axle - I'm going to try to grind down the front axle and get some primer on it tomorrow.
