I probably won't get it done until after I move back to Kentucky. I have too many things to do before then. Baby #2 is due in 3 weeks!!

I would actually test it out first and see if it really does have a lot of play in the rearend(did you and I missed it?). What if your u-bolts that hold the rear axle to the springs are loose? The bushings in the leaf springs ok?

I haven't tested it yet. At a glance the bushings don't look bad, but then again neither did the front TTB axle pivot bushings until Gary and I got them axles pulled down and realized the inner sleeve was riding on the the outer sleeve!! I know the u-bolts are tight I checked them a couple times right after I swapped the axle in. I was afraid they would settle somehow and come loose. I will run outside in a litle bit and check out those bushings a little closer.
