Well got he Dana 60 and 14 bolt in today; sucked though, did it by myself. I relocated & reangled the 14 bolt last week and painted it, then slid her under this morning. I painted the 60 yesterday and put it on a cart so I could roll it under the springs. Then I removed the old springs, bushings, and shackles, installed the new springs, greasable bushings and HD shackles from ORD. The only real pain in the butt that I had was the new centering pin I installed in one of the front springs, it was to wide to fit in the hole on the carrier part of the axle, so I had to drop the axle down, clamp the springs, remove the pin, grind it down and then reinstall it. One other obstacle that I have run into is the front drive shaft is touching the exhaust and the axle is under a load too. I thought I would be able to get away with not havng to make any modifications with only a 4" lift, but my luck is just as good as anyone else that owns a K5. Well for now tha axles are in, but I still do not have a set of tires and rims; hopefully my friend buys my laptop and I can order my tires and rims this week. Later, Pete.
