    Are you offering to fab one for John? 😀 How were you able to balance the DL at home? What did you use? Was the DL you built the rear? Both?

    No, I am merely pointing out it can be done. I cannot afford a $490. dollar drive line so I have built them in the past and I just redid my front as it was rubbing on a suspension part. The one in the picture is 1020dom 1.75x .250 wall with a reduced 1,25 solid section which is made out of 4130 chromoly. it has less than .010 run-out and is not balanced as it is the front and I drive flange's with the retainer to pull the slug and run open. Be more than happy to help if he decides to build something. Mark

    Well than not being balanced will be a problem. Mark

    How tall is your lift? I have two front RE monotube shocks (Bilstien) sitting in my storage shed.

    The shocks are made for a 4.5" lift. You're probably fine, or even better if you're running leveling coil spacers up front, or you could add them when you do the shocks.

    Ya I'll be able to use them I've got new springs and a set of spacer to go in - how much you want for them?

    Let me check my shed to verify they are fronts and not rears. Then I'll get back to you. We'll work something out.
