Had a few hours to throw at this today and made decent progress. Hard lines are made, drive shaft bolted up, shock mount relocated, rotors and calipers mounted and the flex lines fit, I’m just waiting in banjo bolts to arrive. I think I have everything done except shocks and the banjo bolts plus bleeding the brakes of course. I ever got the locker all wired up with an actual Eaton E locker wiring harness. Only downside is the button is too big to go where I wanted so for now it’s a dangly Dude.
I did pull the truck out for a quick test drive and went straight to the sandy spot in my yard to try out the locker. It works! And buried itself quickly in 2wd, but crawled right out in 4x4. Also reinstalled the front skid plate, and a new lower valence with all new hardware.
I also ordered just 1” spacers for the front because the new axle is wide enough to delete the 3” spacers I had back there completely and I think if I drop from 1.5” to 1” in the front it will be nearly perfect. Not quite pushing outside the fender flares with the 255/70/17s but when it eventually gets 285s it will be exactly where I want it.
