Building the ultimate Dana 44?

[4.3LXJ]

Also I bought a 1350 full U bolt pinion yoke from Adams driveshaft. Now time to go to work on this. It took about an hour to get it fully set up. Including eliminating the crush sleeve and substituting a spacer and pinion shaft shims. The kit has a set up bearing for the pinion and shims to shim it. The spreader bar cam in handy to get the right depth by allowing me to disassemble the ring and pinion in about 2 minutes. Putting it back together is about the same with the aid of an impact wrench. The end result looks like this.
