So I'm guessin you aren't going to be running the axles you talked about in the first post... 60 and sterling rear axle??? That's what a D30?? I don't recall what you had decided on and was curious!! Looks great so far though!!

I leave in a month for the marine corps and I needed it driving before I go and ran out of time I still have everything had a d30 at the house with 4.88s and an explorer rear also with 4.88s so this was the cheapest and quickest nothing huge but still big
