Front & Rear 62 Axles with spring perches already welded on top.
Both have ARB lockers and 4.11’s.
Front Axle is not CnT. ARB compressor, harness, and switches come with the package.
Rear axle has a GM disk conversion.
Comes with All-Pro Hy-Steer.
Some fancy rear driveshaft with an extra U-Joint.
An extra pair of rear 60 springs with greasable pins which I will use the longer ones for AAL’s.
Bobby Long Inner Birfs (regular outers.)
A spare set of custom spring perches which I can use if I need to redo any of the existing ones.
I already have 35's waiting to go on.
Things I need:
Replace ARB O-Rings in Diffs when regearing to 4.88’s
CnT front axle
AAL’s to front
Front Shock Hoops for longer shocks
Redo Hy-Steer tie-Rod lengths?
Marlin C Inner Axle Seals
Traction Bar
Questions:- Do I need to notch my trany x-member? I have heard that 62’s don’t need to do this.
- What’s the best Trac Bar parts kit that I can buy and weld into the rear?
- Does anyone run a front Trac bar and why?
- The leafs from this guy may be kinked, can I still use them for AAL’s or will this cause a potential danger or failure in the future?
- What are the cheapest / easiest to install shock hoops?
- What length are SOA brake lines or are they all custom? I’d like to have them ready when I do the install.
- Any other obvious considerations that I have missed?

1. I dont think you need to notch it. Don't know for sure on this one, but I have read similar.
2. Ruff Stuff has all the brackets and such to make trac-bar construction very simple
3. Never seen it...
4. Not sure I undestand the Q
5. Ford Shock towers. The ones that Marlin and All-pro sell for mini-trucks are pretty cool, but not as easy as the Fords.
6. Marlin sell an extened brake line kit for about $100. They are THE BEST brake lines you can buy. rubber lines, steal braid around the rubber, poly coated on the outside.
7. Go ahead and buy the axle gusset kit from Marlin or All-pro. I wish I had done that from the git-go
