Shocks: I have boots on my shocks, I don't think it's a negative to keep debris off of the shafts. Blocks/driveshaft: Typically people use shims to correct driveshaft angles but with blocks it's not the greatest option. A better option is to machine the angle you need into the actual block...

So what all did you get for a lift? Just front springs and rear blocks? Did it come with new u bolts? I would just get some 2wd blazer/c10 front rubber brake lines. The rear is most likely fine since it's centered over the axle and if not you can bend the mount down. Install the front...

I've said in previous posts that you can use 2wd front brake lines to get cheap extended lines. You just need to remove a bracket from them that is bent around the hose. 35" tires weigh a considerable amount. My bfg ko2's with steel rims come in at about 100lbs each. You're asking if axles...

Seems like a well spoken, mature and polite 14 year old at that! Welcome to the forum. Not everyone is grumpy here.

I got a great deal on axles and couldn't run a 15" tire anymore so figured I might as well step it up to 35's. I use mine on trails up into the mountains so I was always nervous of my rear axle but never actually had any issues. It doesnt really sound like anybody is going to convince you...

I off-roaded quite a bit with 33" tires and the stock 10 bolts. The rear differential can explode if you're able to spin one tire and allow it to bang into the locked position but it's hard enough to get a wheel to spin in the first place :lol:

Shackle flip, not axle flip.

I'd suggest a shackle flip over that block but otherwise great looking truck

When my torque converter broke, it locked up and wouldn't allow the vehicle to idle in gear. I swapped mine and the trans has been fine ever since (with new oil and filter). That was 3 years ago. Maybe start a thread on it with those videos as examples?

I've actually been contemplating taking out the extra HD leaf out of my tuff country HD springs. I feel like they don't flex as well as they could and I wouldn't mind bringing the front down.

Its a legal binding document so I think they're taking my word for it. Do I seem untrustworthy?

I only had to sign an affidavit that I wouldn't drive mine more than 4500 miles a year on public roads. I don't think I drive that much with all of my vehicles let alone my cucv so I wasn't worried. Back in Illinois they had antique plates (only drive to and from shows and we're $25 for 5 years)...

Got myself some new classic vehicle plates for my m1009 as it's finally eligible.

My new body style 07 2500hd has the same axle. I've been trying to find myself a set of backing plates from one so I can figure out how to mount it to my 14bff. Im currently running 3/4 ton calipers on mine but would like something with an emergency brake.

Those braces are an interesting edition. Can I ask the theory behind those?

Theres still teflon lines inside of them that will crack and ultimately fail. The ORD ones are at least coated so less likely to get full of dirt/sand and ruin the teflon line.

I've got a dying battery. Will not hold a charge. Everything else is in good working order.

I'm jealous of that startup. I've been procrastinating on replacing my batteries.

It's referred to as a g80 because that's the RPO code.

You can buy 2wd front brake lines for quite cheap at any parts store. They're a few inches longer than the 4wd ones. There is a metal bracket you'll have to remove but it's just bent around the line.
