For axles I am using a '79 king pin Dana 60 in the front and in the rear I used a 9" center section but put 3/8 wall DOM tubes with corporate 14 spindles in it. So I basically have a 35 spline full floating 9". For the rear third member I am running a Strange set up with a spool but I think I am going to change it out for a Tru-hi9 in the not to distant future.

On the suspension side of things I pulled out the stock stuff and built a 3 link with coil overs up front and the rear is Deaver leaf springs for now. I need to get it back on the trail for this season and next summer I will link the rear and stretch the wheel base a little more.

I just got my hands on a NP435 so I may do a trans swap while I'm in there. I just don't think that the c4 is going to give me enough depth in the ratio department. But we will see. My projects alway seem to snow ball out of control.
