'84 K5 Build (Midlife Crisis)

If you have enough lift in the hoist you’ll be ok. Might want to remove the front wheels and drop the axle down onto some 4x4’s for that extra 6” or so.

Yeah, I’m with you on that. Going to try and get it as low as I can and still get the cherry picker legs under it.
 
Probably still be swinging it pretty high up. Be okay if it’s a straight out though
 
This is what I did when I did my engine R&R

full
 
I don’t want to remove my winch and bumper and fans and dual battery setup and relays and then and then and then... lol
 
Putting all the head lights, horns, EVAP, etc, etc, etc was a choir when I put my engine back in.

Exactly. I’m going to have enough work to do with all the efi stuff.
 
I need to get one of those contraptions that let you lay over the engine compartment.
 
They guys next door and I were just talking about getting one of those last week.
 
You mount that winch between the frame rails and stop using that excuse!
 
ARB
Gears
Install kit
Inner seals
Rough stuff diff cover
New u-joints
Kingpin rebuild kits
Srw hubs/rotors/bearings
Crossover steer arm

I was looking at the 35spl. outers and yukon hubs but I started thinking about a fuse. Where do I want my weak point to be? What’s y’alls opinion?
 
I have two brand new Yukon king pin rebuild kits sitting on the shelf if you’re interested. I won’t ever use them....
 
Do you have any comment on the lube locker gaskets? I have always used right stuff and it never leaks, but it’s a bitch to clean and a damn can is nearing a hundred dollars nowadays!
