Yea my pooches are a great support to me. These axles are for a friend in danville virgina. He picked them up today. A power lock in the front and rear makes these trucks almost impossible to get stuck. 100% improvement over original and the front p/l isnt harsh on axle shafts like a detroit or...

Got the 4.56's and power lock in along with grade #9 carrier bolts also new knuckle felts and seals, inner axle seals, hub seals, brakes...
Finished up completely on the rear axle refurb. Heres the new coated brake lines and rubber flex line. Sure is a bugger makeing them to form to the axle like the originals and still allow for the 2 offset u-bolts. also finding the correct line clamps was a job also.
