I wish I had a decent yard here! They’re all terrible. And hardly an NBS or NNBS can be found. [emoji19]

LKQ is my happy place. It's only about 15 minutes away and $2 to get in. In a past life that yielded more free time, I would go browse just to get ideas. Sometimes I'd be approached by someone needing a tool and, since I'm there just BS'ing around, I'd go give 'em a hand. You never know who or what you'd run across.

Yeah I’ve heard of those Spohns failing under high hp applications.

Pretty sure I saw you say that now you've seen me say that so now we've made a loop of infinity. Or some shit

I plan to get new stock lowers and extend them to center the axle in the opening. I'll use the originals as splices/fish plates and box in the underside. I plan to build some adjustable uppers with some poly bushings I already have on hand, scrap DOM and some tube adapters and bushed ends from a suspension fabricator supply (Barnes 4WD, Ballistic fab, Rusty's, etc.)

You need your pinion to be pointing up around 3 degrees.

Of course, these numbers will change if you move the truck elsewhere. If you do, just re-measure the front and make the rear pointing up at the trans about 2 degrees less.

Go ahead and build those uppers now I'll test them for you . I definitely agree my pinion angle is partially the reason the yoke eats the evap thingy but maybe the bumps will help until I get UCAs.

Dang when you like all my posts at once and I get 25 new notifications I get a little hit of dopamine. That's for enabling my addiction .

Same here.

Both y'all come on down I'll give you a tour of the local yards lol.

Well decided I didn't have enough crap to do so I started a mini project so I could get some quick gratification. Hated the factory hookup and it only opened 90*so I could never see how to line the plug up. Plus it hung low and blocked the shiny rear end parts so it needed to go bye bye. Got a plug for $30 at Autozone used a beastly hole saw and bam it's all done! Cleaned up the hitch and painted it as well.

You sir are a stand up guy. I've never had anyone at a junk yard offer me any help.

Thank you, and that's a shame. Everyone swimming together through the sea of discarded vehicles are brethren and... sistren? lol

I'm a much better giver than a receiver. Jenn can vouch for that

I don't get it. You mean there are more gifts under your Christmas tree that have your name in the from spot not the to spot? So your basically like Santa?

No it means he doesn’t LIKE his gifts. He said better giver than receiver, not more prolific.

Those kids should be the ones doing junk yard runs for you.
