I believe this AAM is at least close to 500lbs, this mfer is heavy AF. No need for that for what I am doing.

Look up Innovative Machining Solutions. He's building billet alum brake setups for the aam's. Drops over 100lbs per axle and can clear 15" wheels.

I have looked into them, they are cool but they are out of my budget. I also just bought new wheels and tires, so I’m not in a hurry to change again.
Last I looked they were $1200 for the rear axle setup. If the Dana 60 works out I could potentially drop 200-250lbs for about $500 including a new ring and pinion, then sell my current axle to recoup or make money on the swap.

I dropped about 30lbs off the front axle using these brackets, and my coilover height and links will be adjustable.
I gutted the back of the cage some more, dropped about 30lbs there and started on the cage.

I like what you did with the brackets on the axle. I haven't seen that done on the front before...

Yessir, I am a big fan of build threads. Hopefully it inspires others to build some race trucks and come out to compete.

I put my trans back together inside of the trailer on the 03 (not much fun). But it should be ready for some local races.
I also got the back glass out of the new truck, and cleaned up the rear axle. I am going to keep the AAM rear until I can figure something out for a lighter option then just swap it in.
The 4-link kit for the rear should be here tomorrow from Firepunk, so then I can start on the back half of the truck and really start making it look like a vehicle again.
