ll probably leave them full size. As far as Ive read the 9 inch in this application cant be narrowed due to the tapered axles. I may have misunderstood though...

there are 3 main stages. Stage one is the begginning, two is the middle, and three is the end.

lol no but seriously, stage one involves everything that can be possibly done without cutting the truck.

what a geeky situation ive turned these stages into...




BTW, this is not going to be done in the next 3-4mnths. probably next summer, which is when the bolt on will start...

thanks for the encouragement fellas, im gonna need a whole lot of that right before i hack off the subframe
