What length are the front shocks you replaced the originals with Rick?

I took Dready's idea with the O/U gearing, I flipped the transfer and turned the shaft around, but I didn't move the tranny. I got my heat gun out and made me a transfer mount. I made it out of 1/8 in delrin.

I did basically the same thing to mine except I just flipped the tcase and left the input shaft, pushed the electronics tray forward (I am running a cab back anyways) and made myself a similar skid out of steel. This is the way the truck should have come, that old skid was killing me!

Maybe I am...

Hahaha, I am running the full cab back with the bed completely seperate so I had to move the electronics tray forward a hole because otherwise it is in the way of the cab going down all the way. I flipped the T-Case so the holes are on top instead of on the bottom and mounted it to the electronics tray and my skid is just there to protect it.

Yea, hard to describe without some pics.

Did you have to do anything to correct front pinion angle? I have mine setup I think exactly like yours and my pinion angle is way off.

I have to say this thing is the most capable scaler I have at the moment and I love the realistic ride it has going over obstacles. Very fun indeed!

I'm in the middle of putting a set of K44s axles in and they had to be shimed alittle.
