8 inch frame stretch to move the rear diff back. Here's the new frame section I will be using.

 

[Scoop]

New frame section is back on! Ended up getting about 8 1/2 inches stretch on the frame.

 

[NGABronco]

All ya' got to do now is set the backend on and "fill-in" the blanks!!!!;D;D

The "backend" came off in pieces - so it's not going back on! Plan is to tube the rear and hang some rear skins.

Dave, hoping to have it together by OCBR!

Thanks Karl. I'm shooting for a total of 104 or so. 8 1/2 frame, 1 1/2 Zero Rates, and ~3 kicking the front out. Lee N and Chris T recommend 108" but don't think I can get there without some serious front end mods. Maybe a future 4-link rear would get me there!

We're enjoying the summer. We've been to CO twice already and will be going back up in August.

Just put the duff's 3.5" 4 link on mine during the wrench & roast you got it apart might as well do it.

It's a matter of money right now! It's easy to put the leafs back on for now. It won't be that hard to install the 4-link later on the stretched frame at a later date.

Hardest part of the leaf reinstall was getting the outer bushing sleeves out of the spring eyes. They were tough to get out! Got some Duff bushings to go back in.

Yeah, I've been wishin' Kevin was in Texas!! The time lapse GoPro video should be interesting.

What wheel base did you end up with?
