Putting a 14FF under my K5

[George_Pimpdaddy]

Hey so finally have soem time off work so im doing my axle upgrade this week
Anyways just figuring up a list for parts for the whole deal so far i got
wire wheel for grinder
new lug nuts
80-90w oil about 6 quarts
black paint (any suggestions?)
Brake cleaner
RTV What colour?
Napa #447 conversion u joint x2 nice to have a spare
new 3 3/8" U bolts

Now i was also thinkin since im down there and im gonna be running my new 35" bfg muds on no lift still to maybe throw in a zero rate? and some new shocks to replace my old dry ones. If i did the zero rate would it benifit me to move the axle back any?

Thanks
Matt

Use Glossy Black Tremclad rust paint in a spraycan. De-grease, then wire wheel all of the flakey stuff off, and shoot the paint right overtop of the light surface rust. That stuff sticks forever, and looks really good too, won't fade. Heck, if you wanted to, you could just brush it

Get the stuff at any Canadian Tire, Wal-Mart, Home Depot etc

I personally used black RTV with my rear diff cover, held up very well!

Thanks man, I just got back from Canadian tire and napa gathering parts.
I got the blue RTV sealant, 6 quarts of 80-90w, break cleaner, 5" wire wheel, and some truck box liner spray paint. So looks like im heading out doors today to do some work on the axles, was just wondering about the brake lines as the ones where cut i believe so any napa part numbers? oh yea and i got 2 conversion u joints coming too from napa.

The steel lines that run along the axle tube? You will have to buy the straight pieces of tubing and bend them.

I did the disc brake conversion on my 14 bolt for about $200 including the brake lines. I wanted the brake lines to look nice, so I bought a flare tool ($20) for making the double flare. Bend the line, cut to length, flare. It turned out real nice.
