Yeah I thought the same thing - axles look like toothpicks lol! It has 12" lift springs with 2" blocks in the front. That was all switched over from the K5, I never would have put the blocks in. I ordered new u-bolts from ORD so that I can take the blocks out. I'm worried if I remove the blocks the tires will rub. I'm gotta take some measurements, but what I wanna do is drop the front leaf brackets down to give it the lift without the blocks, and that will help turn my pinion angle up toward the driveshaft better.
