Only the front needs to be cut and turned. The rear you just cut off the spring perches and weld new ones on, rear axle takes about an hour. Spring perches are $26/pair from Dodge.

Yes, you literally can just bolt the axle from Proffitts on. The c&t is the hard part of an SOA, if that is done for you teh whole project can be done in a weekend.

Why not angle the diff upwards and gain the clearance? If he can get the driveshaft for cheap...would that be the better option or no? Not worth messing with?

More ground clearance under the pumpkins with the bigger tires....

You forgot top heavy, structurally dangerous, limits articulation...etc.

I think having Proffits do it is definitely worth the money if you can afford it. Then, aside from welding new spring perches on the rear axle, its just a lot of messing with bolts. You could actually do it without removing the springs if you wanted to, but removing the springs and replacing the bushings is a good idea while you are in there.

FYI buy all new U-bolts, they stretch over time and will need to be replaced, and also if you are replacing them you can just cut the old ones off, saves a lot of time.

Oh, forgot longer shocks on that price list i made.

But no, I don't think he's over-compensating.

If anything, under. . . . he needs some ground effects, too.
