Project Saving Silverman

21 Spline should hold up fine if you don’t drive it like the buggy 😂. I made stock 21spl duals last for a while doing dumb shit. Just made sure any time it got western to push the clutch in before any kind of traction caught.

This is where I’ve landed with it too. I was willing to spend a few hundred dollars to upgrade to 23 splines for extra peace of mind, especially since I was pulling it apart anyway for a full reseal. But it’s gonna cost more to upgrade it than I have into the whole setup, including the crossmember and driveshaft parts that came with it. Pass. For now.
 
This is not a build update. I will put together a post with an actual update on progress when time and energy allows. But for now, I just needed a motivation booster, and figured I’d give “you people” a sneak peek 👀

After consuming copious amounts of silver bullets in the shop while working on this thing over the past year, I finally understand the context behind this comment…Colorado’s finest beverage container compliments the color scheme of this rig perfectly! @StretchASU you, sir, are a visionary with a well-trained eye and highly refined taste for vehicles and cold snacks.

You could fit a whole 24 ouncer in that wheel gap!

It's going to sit a few inches taller. It is currently on jack stands a few inches lower than the centerline of the wheels. I'd love for the final ride height to be where it is. The reality is that it can be challenging to get these things to sit that low on leaf springs, ride halfway decent and keep from cutting up the fenders. It's doable...just extra time and effort that I'm not willing to put forth right now. I know that the suspension will work great and ride plenty smooth (for what it is) the way I've set it up. And I think it will still look good at final ride height.
