Here's the included directions: http://www.jegs.com/InstallationInst.../022-59209.pdf Some fabbing/cutting will be required with this kit. I dug up what I have, I have the airbag kit #59209, a torsion bar tool, and some aluminum bar for spacers if needed. What would you like? With either a sway or panhard bar, some fabrication is going to be needed. I explored both and there are several kits out there for trucks, but mostly the lifted ones. Check your PMs. Just remember that I'm eastern time please.
seems like there is going to be a bit of trial and error with drive-line angles once everything is installed.....but it sounds like when it's all said and done it will be a fairly kick *** setup!

I hate to dig this up from the dead, but I just read the whole thing again and I'm just curious as to what's going on with the truck. I love the build and all of the great craftsmanship.

It's secure in an undisclosed location! Carrier bearing took a poop on me

dropped off my drive-shaft to SuperCharger Connection to get the carrier bearing replaced. Bearing is fine but the rubber surround is broken appart....too many WOT wacks I suppose. Nothing BC can't handle!!! Thanks brother!

Sound's like a real pile of junk... Let me do you a favor and take that problem off your hands

Watch out for BC. I hear he likes large shafts and Blowing things... That's why he's the Blownerator
