Drivers side, added spacers. Top spacer is slightly taller so ground slight angle into them, added grade 8 hardware including larger washers on the inside of the frame rails.

Lowered tie rod ends clear very well, but had to lose all but one of the lock nuts to get the right width.

Only took a few steps before i ran into issues... This shows the shock hitting the steering arm on a left turn. Surprised to not find posts on this, which makes me wonder if it might just be poor placement of the shock mount on my axle or my spindle arm had bent previously, or ???

I reused the top part of the old ubolt assembly, but since it wasnt long enough apart for the new axle only 1 of the ubolts fit in it, but its outside was close to the right width so maybe it will help index

So this was a little different, maybe for nothing. I added a washer and a lock washer to the set one one side and just a lock washer on the other side. I used a die to extend the threaded part of the ubolts but probably unnecessary with the extra washer. Cut off some length on the ubolt to run it down with my impact and deep socket.

Drop links roughly installed still need to mimic the length of the old one.

Job would be a lot quicker without painting the parts of course... Took machine shop a few hours to get everything milled, pressed, honed, and checked - which makes getting the full service from Sid that much cheaper compared to this option.

The u bolts were probably the most time consuming thing to remove but some heat and a lot of noise from my impact later and they were free. I am reusing the shock mounts so unbolted the other end and drove through the brass rod again and into the new axle. I was glad to leave an extra set of jack stands loose under the axle it didnt want to fall too easy after backing off the u bolts but when it did fall i was glad my foot wasnt between it and pavement.

This shows the removed tie rod, removed arm that was unscrewed to be removed the step prior, and shows the spindle that i removed by hitting the bottom with a blunt brass rod. I had not ordered a replacement set but have now after noting the wear on the washers and suspected age of the bearing that the spindle sandwiches around the axle.

On driver side i removed the wheel nut and pulled my brake assembly (disc conversion for me), but one of the off script methods I had success with on the passenger side likely because of the disc conversion was pulling the whole rotor/disk assembly from the spindle. Otherwise the backing plate on drums is how to remove this portion.

My drop axle (ordered from speedway with ubolts) needed some enlargement of the holes for the u bolts to fit. I painted it with por15 after sanding it down. It did have some surface rust as shipped so i do recomend some protection.
