I got it all back together last night but one bolt the threads are flat so I need to get a new f911 bolt and nut that attaches the spindle to the upper a-arm. And I was so hoping to drive it today.

Ya I know. Now I will need to make a run out to Kartek to get what I need. I'm just hoping I can get off work early one day this week get out there so I can use the truck this weekend.

Left work early and ran to Kartek to get the new bolt and misalignment spacer. Found out something really cool, BajaMike (works at Kartek) lives in Hemet and told me next time to just call in the order and he would bring the parts to me for $10. I so wish I new that earlier, and I will take him up on that offer in the future for sure.
Put it all back together after dinner and drove it around the block and I have to say the front end is awesome with the new valving , but it totally made me realize how much the rear sucks. Now its time to start saving for the rear.
I'm trying to plan it out, and this is what I'm thinking. T-100 housing (trussed to match the front track width and get a set up 62" deavers with some FOA's in the rear with a custom shock hoop. I'm hoping that I might be able to run the shock on the outside of the frame rails and keep them below the bed sides but I'm not to worried about that right now. Also I will need fiberglass bed sides to match the new track width.
