I would still like to see some pictures of what that shaft is and the actual specs of the drive shaft.

No, he's mentioned it before. Unfortunatly he's only but pics of bits and pieces of his truck in his gallery but in at least one you can see his ginormous coils. I'm curious about the dl too, as well as the motor.

No, that's correct. He doesn't have the new tires on yet. I was going to take a picture of my truck this weekend sitting on 33's while I mounted the 44's on beadlocks, but it was ubber gay so I decided not to. I don't remember if he's got the new tires and they're just not on yet or if he's still waiting for them.

Where was the clearance issue with your headers? I just ordered the L&L fenderwell headers and they said I wouldn't need a bodylift, just inner fender trimming. I'll be ticked if they don't fit!!!!

yes all you will need is to trim the inner fenders i have the L&L fender well exit ones but i allready had the body lift to clear the air filter and headers without trimming basically the body lift was allready there before and was less work to take it out (no trimming 4 the headers ) thats all sorry to confuse yah

I don't even see how a double ended CV joint can even work properly without a pillow block or two. Without the pillow blocks, wouldn't the crap bind out of it?? perhaps I need to see one in action, but I some how think it is a bad idea.
