Axle Swap Finally Done

It was a bit more work than I anticipated as this beast fought me every step of the way. I'm glad I had some good friends helping or it never would have gotten done.

At least you have friends.....


The only, and I do mean ONLY, help I had....
was my buddy torched my old spring perches off... That's it.

All the rest was done by my idiot, loser self..

That's the problem I'm having. I get "Yea, I'll help"...then voicemail when I call for said help. Plus, I have the double swap...60/14 from M1028 to K5 and 10 bolts from K5 to M1028. So far I have the front axle under the K5 ready to come out, minus removing the u bolts...so what is that? Like 1/8th done?

I found it easier to move the springs attached to the rears as a unit.
