Just ordered some Sequoa spring spacers for the rear. Gonna get 2 inches higher in the back. Waiting on them to be shipped and I will finish installing the Locker then. Got the Gear oil changed out in it, rust is cleaned off, fresh paint, and wheel speed sensors cut off. Now trying to figure out if I should leave the anti-sway bar off... What do you guys think? Should be posting up pics as soon as its done. May do before and after pics too..

I should finally be done with the install tomorrow. Doing this on the ground by myself with a crappy little jack have proven to be a booger. The spacers should fit just fine and I think since my fiance' will be driving it on occasion I will leave the sway bar in place and just disconnect it when needed. while awaiting install I was able to fit some off road lights on the front bumper and the roof. I put the switches for them in the headliner just above the steering wheel.(they look great BTW) Blacked out my hood with bed liner spray as well as around the lower portion of the whole truck including the bumpers. fab'd up a high lift mount on the spare holder as well. I should probably post some pictures as soon as I can on everything I have done so maybe I can give someone an idea or two. The rear ends on these things are HEAVY!! I should be getting some 15x8 black rims soon with a 2.5 inch offset to clear the front swaybar. I have to install some new cv axles up front and add some manual locking hubs. It's muddles my mind to think that mitsubishi would allow the front drivetrain to take on wear constantly.

Okay, upon reaching the part where I am supposed to bolt the drive shaft to the diff flange, I came to the realization that the pinion flange of an SR is too big for the drive shaft flange on the LS. So Monday I will be either A)drill holes in one of the two flanges or B) cutting the drive shaft and welding the proper flange in place. So....>> The driveshaft from an LS will NOT fit the air locker differential assembly from an SR.<< (I cannot find a driveshaft due to the idiot cutting the one I could have gotten, but I'm luckily had the flange so I can at least weld it in place of the smaller flange.)
