OK, so I have a question or two for you all:
First, I am debating on using a stock EB rear spring setup or running a FSB or F-150 spring (they are longer and are supposed to flex more). Any thoughts on that? Anyone have a junk frame I could buy some spring hangers off of? It would take forever at the pull it yard, trying to do it by hand without a cutting wheel.
Next, I am debating on running 31 spline axles over the stock 28 spline. Main reason being that my 28 splines need wheel bearings and seals (about $100) and new axles are $250. I would need to see if I can modify my carrier for 31 spline axles. Anyone do it before? I need to measure the carrier to see if I have enough meat on to machine out to accept a 31 spline axle diameter. I really want to run a trac-lok in the back. They are very hard to find it seems.
