Re: 2wd swap
The gov lock did its normal thing.
This is the 2nd time the 12 bolt gave up. Couldn't believe the amount of hate the 9in replacement got. Didn't know the gm fan boys where that way.

Re: 2wd swap
Well..... The GOV lock set-ups are known weak links so there's that. I'm fine w/the 9" or 8.8 options.

Re: 2wd swap
After a complete failure with the local guy, sendcutsend.com blew us away.
Kid left a .010 tolerance and it fit together so well that it needed a love tap to take apart for the final fit up

Re: 2wd swap
Brother's on vacation.
Back on the K5 my son's got the fusion360 working pretty well I think. Since we sectioned the crossmember 1.5 inches then raised the upper pivot the same trying negate some bumpsteer and got only a 2° camber change thru the usable travel. He drew us up a new upper pivot that's 1.75 taller than stock and created an access hole for the airbag fittings. May also ad in a coil over mount into it.

What's the purpose (need?) for the spherical washers?

Re: 2wd swap
The choppin block arms have a tight(er) tolerance on the stud.
And with any caster in the shim stack it bends the stud overvwhen flange nut is tight. And looks better than the factory stuff.
