I haven't personally done that, but I've seen a lot of pros explain the process, and being an engineer it makes perfect sense.

You may not want to commit to something like this yet. I think this is a driveline for a manual transmission. It's completely different than an automatic transmission setup. The shafts are thicker, dimensions a bit different, slip yoke is wrong, and the carrier bearing fits a different cross member.


after looking more on the board.. i am thinking i might just have to make the air ride and then take it to a shop and have them do the rest.. Thanks for the help with this.. my truck project is a learn as you go thing.. I am learning alot and that is the goal.. this board is amazing too.. its a great resource.
