Axle swaps under way. Started in the rear. Running offset dana 60, it's offest set about 6 inches. Using Ballastic mounts and tabs with there new forged joints. Got a detroit in the rear with 5.13's and disc brake setup. The front will get lockrite with stock dana 70 stub shafts for now(waiting to see who's going to make and stock chevy shafts), and ecgs drive flangs.

After looking at my setup I'm going to lower the truss about 2 inches wich should work alot better.
 
yea that is a pretty far offset
 
Beacuse there are too many damn dana 61 floating around. After about 2 months of looking and buying 3 dana 61's I found this one. Alot of the comp guys use offset rears to help with ground clearance, being offset it "lifts" the center chunk up vs staying at the same height.
 
Sunday update

Got a little done today. Started the front truss/ram mount/third link mount. Had to work around what a was dealt when the chassis was built. The truss is 1.75x.250 dom. i'm going to make another gaurd with plate to protect the ram, and make stringers to tie it all together. The stinger will be tied back in to the chassis and new shock mounts made.
