Getting a RSK kit. What DON'T I need??

[Diesel_brad]

Can I just use a 9/16 5 inch grade 8 bolt for the leaf springs?

Yup. That is what is in all my springs, Grade 8 bolts

I want to get the driveshaft shortened first, what is the exact length it needs to be shortened?

Shortened? You dont have a F350 cardian zf5 drive shaft?

I have the one I am using now, from a ZF to TTB 50.

the guy I got the axle from had a gasser auto driveshaft.

O ok. yeah, a E4OD driveshaft needs to be shorted but IIRC if it came from a C6 it will be fine

I could have gotten a auto one but I DIDN"T.

So how much will I need to shorten my current ZF - D50 driveshaft to work with a D60??

 

[Diesel_brad]

I dont know the auto stuff. Maybe Goofy will chime in. IIRC he had to shorten his E4OD one

I think I confused you, lol.

I a am not going to shorten a auto driveshaft, I have a ZF5 and I am shortening that driveshaft.

Have you tried putting the driveshaft on to see if it will work as is.

What driveshaft? the TTB D50 Zf5 shaft?

Dont waste your money on the advance crap. Lifetime warranty is great but it dont cover your time
Buy spicer that came in the truck originally
5-806x non greasable
5-733x- greasable

2nd that. Best place I know to get Spicer joints is Inland Truck Parts.

No, I wanted to get it done with so I could just install it. I guess it ain't happening though.

Most times the TTB driveshaft will not work. It is too hard of an angle and will vibrate like a BIOCH

Darn! I guess I musta missed it but my leaf shackles are really thin(rusted). Where is the best place to get them? I was gonna go LMC but they are always $$$$$.
