Iron, I finally got some time to pull the stock rear.
What a PAIN.. Couldn't find a 1 1/8 deep socket (and didn't want to buy one either) so after days of soaking with Kroil and PB blaster, i got a small pipe wrench and breaker bar and tried to bust loose /crack the big nuts.
I actually did have a socket but wasn't deep enough frown
And had to pull all 8 with the pipe wrench..
got it down and went to loosen the flex brake line and THOUGHT it was turning but ended up twisting the little pipe and busting it..
I was just so happy that I was able to pull all 8 nuts of that I really didn't get all that mad about the line.
rolled the rear out from under it and rolled the Dana 80 back in, but started to loose light and had to make a run with the kids so it's just resting on the axle.

It LOOKS like the spring pack bolts are in the holes in the perches but couldn't see. (it was kinda scary to stick a finger inbetween to feel and didn't want to loose ANY appendages)

I'll try and get some pics tomorrow, but it's really close.

I'm leaving the orig springs and will see how they 'do' after I get it road worthy and driving.

Later: Errol
