I added 2" spacers to get me a little wider after strapping on my 39.5s too... It made a noticeable difference in the stability. I'm at about 80-81ish inches wide. I'd like to get rid of my monster hangers do even more sheetmetal cutting sometime soon like a you, Kavik, boots, and others have done to get the COG down.

Yeah I thought about just running spacers but it starts killing your steering when you push the pivot farther away from the trunion. I've done it before so I'm not knocking it, I just wanted to keep this tight as my wife might drive a bit and I want her to be comfortable.
You running spacers to clear the 4" BS rims or are you running bigger rims (i.e. 17's??)
Man love is good here

And tonight I got the back end cleaned up a bit. Got the axle pulled and blew the rivets on the spring hangers.
No pic of the new hangers welded on . I moved them 3" back from stock to get the tire a bit further away from the door. Should work out pretty well.
Oh, and I guess I won't be running 3.73s, even temporarily. I pulled the driveshaft and I could see the pinion flange wobbling around. The pinion nut came loose and I'd saw there is roughly 1/4"-3/8" of play. I was rolling when I saw it. I'm interested to get inside and see how bad the third is.

And the last one for the night.
I built this 4.7 mini case with a 465 adapter about a year and a half or 2 yrs. back. I never ended up running it nor did the 3 other buddies who had posession of it in the mean time. Now it's back to me and it's going to get run.
So anyway after noisy time ended (I try to knock off about 9:30 to be decent to the neighbors) I started in on the mini case. Got a bit torn down but with no air tools (too loud) I didn't get as far as I wanted.

No I forgot and I've since put the 31s back on to make it easier in the garage. I'll try to remember when I throw the Iroks back on.
I'm guessing you are not taking this rig to Moonlight Madness.
Taco axle?
Nice night light princess.

nope... it'll be way cooler then that, keep guessing
The range box already had a 4.7 and is set up to bolt to a 465. the rear of the tcase will get tossed.
Barbie does make a nice addition to the shop. Gives me the sense that you're in touch with your delicate side.
BTW Nice build! I've been following it since you started it!
