Jesse builds a pickup #329 - Front cowl and hood

Moving on with the rear end now filled and re sealed (doh). One interesting tidbit is the kit comes with the drive shaft adapter (same as the IRS pumpkin).



The rear end I got from Moser has the fox body pinion. I dug into some other builds and see that previously they shipped them with the S197 pinion. I am curious if this will have an impact on driveshaft length.



A little trick for installing suspension parts that maybe don't quite fit because the tabs are too tight. My friend Scott gave me this to use, it's simple and genius and works like a charm. Maybe this is common knowledge but I had no idea until now and it has made my life a lot easier.



Moving forward I got everything assembled and prepped on this kick a** cart my buddy built.



The rear shocks come with .32 spacers for both the truck frame and the lower control arms. Problem is they recently redesigned the lower control arms. They are now a lot narrower than they used to be.





There is now a .200 difference, instead of contacting FFR and waiting for new spacers seemed easier just to grind .100 off of the four lower ones.
