Nope, never even thought about it. Jason is debating if he's going to do it or not on his.

2nd that.. I'm confused.. In the beginning of this thread you said you would keep it pretty stock, and dont have insanly wide tires!.. now there is a stack of tires to the ceiling of your garage, and axels being widened!!
Screwing around.
Had to see if any one was awake. 
Besides, I couldn't go from my 40 to a fishing wagon, I'd go insane. even more so than I already am

No picture updates as the camera is in Texas with the wife and kids but I did get some work done.
The front axle w/sleeves gives me 63.5" wms/wms.
Got the front end dropped back down on the new tires and BTW Dan, it still clears the garage door by about 4" .
Weak-Link got the dash just about back together, kinda looks like a vehicle in there again.

The front axle is in. All wideded up and everything.
Got some diff protection on along with a little shave on the drain plug.
And the "Bat Signal"
We called it that due to the look of the plate prior to "massaging" to fit the diff. Heres the template.

Got the PS box pulled, cleaned up, tapped, painted, and thrown back on. Just need to set the ram and run the hoses and the Assist will be in good shape.
And heres how it sits as of now. Need to tear into the rear suspension now.

Not tying to tell you how to build your rig, but.
I think your E-Brake cable goes under the carpet, not through the heater duct.

The dash is coming along great.
A few more parts and it will be all buttoned up.

That's my manual line loc conversion so I can roast the rear hides.

It's right about 80-81" tall with the truck sitting level.
BTW, the best we can say about the flight is they all made it home safely.
Amanda was fried last night and the girls were still bouncing off the walls.

What's the backspacing on the wheels? How wide are you?

Yup, stability. My 40 was relatively low, had a full width 60 up front (69") and was the most stable sidehilling rig I've owned. I wanted to build this one lower than it is but I don't feel like re-building the back door arches to make the tires fit. At least with the wider axle I will get back a bit of stability with the added height.
