First thing to do was to set the diff up roughly where i thought it needed to go. All i wanted was for the irocks to clear the rear doors. To do this i had to push the diff back 5" which ment the fuel tank was now in the way. I cut a rather large hole in the rear floor and droped the fuel tank in from the top...perfect.

The plan was to just spin the rear springs around and that would give me my 5" but after a bit more thinking i decided to re do the mounts all together. I made up some mounts for the rear diff, just have to clean them up and box them in. I will also find some large "U" bolts as i dont like the current setup.

So after a bit of triming with the plasma cutter this is how it is sitting right now. Have to try and find some 150x100 box section so i can start bending and cutting it into a rear bumper so i have something to hang my shackles off.
