    It also hurts my brain looking at the pinion pointed up straight at the driveshaft. ???

    I guess the third option would be that everyone already has their reloading setups and doesn't see a need to upgrade...

    Who knows, just thinking out loud...
    No it's not. Just hard for some to justify reloading (from scratch) when you ca buy ammo for under $250 per thousand, delivered.
    However, IMO, those who are comfortable buying ammo, vs reloading. Might be in for a surprise as 11/2020 nears. If a R doesn't keep the WH. Ammo will be back $ $500 per 1 k pricing and reloading components will be a matter of knowing your local reloading store.

    Yeah, we CV'd front and rear shafts. I did what the man told me do.

    Thanks Brutal.....it's been years to get it this far. I have another pic of that drop pitman.

    The OE system sucked to begin with, the drop pitman is kinda creepy...and I reverse chamfered the steering arm to go top side.

    If any of this set up feels retarded or unsafe, I'll order a right side knuckle machined for an adjustable drag link above the springs.

    I do have new front brake lines, just haven't installed them yet or made the mod for the rear line from the master. I'll do that stuff and get it bled.

    Fair.

    It does cost money to get into, and doesn't necessarily save money currently, I'm just astounded to see Dillons for the deals that currently exist in the TP and curious.
