i got my c-clip in today, it would have been sooner but the sticker i ordered with the snap ring was discontiued, and they called me to ask if i wanted another sticker or just a refund. i took the refund. so they then made the changes to the order on monday and sent it out. once i find my usb phone cable i will load the pic of the clip.
as far as the knuckle. i was gonna retap it but i ran in to a problem, i found a bigger bolt but not a tap so i have some choices:
1. heli-coil to original size
2. buy a bolt to match a tap i have
3. buy a tap to match the bolt i have.
gonna talk it over with my uncle but it looks like no matter what im gonna be spending some money

havent done much lately due to money/time issues, but i have part of my hy-steer. just need 1 tie rod end and the arms. and instead of building my hanger i broke down and bought one someone made along with a pair of leaf springs.
so as its looking off the top of my head i need:
high steer arms
1 tie rod end
4 spring bushings
5 spring bolts )maybe less might have some)
brake pads
fix my knuckle
longer brake lines
and tht should get it rollling
then will be shocks and hoops and driveline
but i did relize one thing i was painting everything black and blue because it would look good under a grey truck, however its now going under the berry so ima have to repaint all blue things red now =/ haha.

Haha thanks, I have some 90's blazer coils in the rear and it lifted the saggy butt around 6in, but still need the blocks with the stock springs, I've heard a lot about blocks and I do agree with most of it, thhe blocks are only temporary until I can get better springs in the rear.
