Sounds good to me.
So what's the next step? Do we need to call Curtis and let him know we are part of the group buy?

Looks like there are 7 of us thus far (including me)

We need to get 3 more, then I will contact Curtis and will instruct each person to pay him directly.
Hopefully we can get 3 more peeps soon=) Thanks!

Way stupid question so go easy on me:
My front end has the man-a-fre drop brackets to correct the castor. The truck drives great, but I don't like the arms being lower in the rear, and overall as they can get hit easily. I don't care for the brackets that bolt to the axle either. I have looked at the offset bushings, but many people say they don't work ( don't know why that would be). Does a DC drive-shaft solve this problem? I just am not sure if the problem is related to drive-shaft angle, and if this would correct it in lieu of the other options
Thanks

I may very well be in for one. Will know this weekend.
The brackets correct the angle of the axle for steering purposes, they actually make it worse for the driveshaft. I run the offset bushings and they have been fine. Just install them correctly. The DC allows the driveshaft to function at a more dramatic angle without having to worry about vibrations, it doesn't, however, correct the castor.
The DC driveshaft wont have any effect on caster. It's just meant to reduce strain on the drive shaft angles. The plates or bushing are rotating the axle to re-astablish steering geometry.
Thanks Guys
I understand the mechanics of the rotated diff, just wasn't sure why castor mattered, thought it was related to driveshaft angle, now I know better

I'm in. Where we at now?
Like Summiteer, I have the front shaft (as of a few days ago), and am very happy with it. I would be very interested in a rear shaft... I'll call Curtis Monday and see if this applies to the group buy. If so, I'm in!
Summiteer, I once lived down the road from you, in Cory. I miss the backside of the Grand Mesa!
i'd be down for one. I know we pay him directly, do we call and set everything up with him? when should we call? Thanks!!
Damm, part time kit for the win again! Can't afford it anyway, doing PM and building a bumper of sorts, cash flow is a no go 
I AM IN. WHEN DO I PAY?
Me three on the rear dc shaft. I have a front one but if the rear can be done, I'd be in.
