I was gonna see if anyone wants one ASAP and just forget about it but if no one gets back to me this week, then that's what we're putting on 
I feel like i have too much **** to wrap up this summer so I'm seeing if I can cut down...

Unless you need the cash for something else, I'd just do it. The DSS shafts are awesome, and the install is not complicated/time consuming at all.

I am moving so I'm just trying to cut down on parts i'd have to move. Not sure what to do with all my stock parts...I like having them around just in case but I don't want to pay to have movers move em.

2 Things holding me back from taking it off your hands Billy. 1 Is having the cash to buy that, have my cams installed and have Chris do a dyno tune. The second is all my bolts will be rusted and it will take us 10 hours to do the install!

Im surprised your stock DS is not an 8 piece DS yet.

The ABS module would be right behind the driver's side headlight. Looks like a hefty block of aluminum with a bunch of steel brake lines connected.
Reason I ask is if you do have ABS, you'll need to transfer the wheel sensors on each side from the old axle. Be VERY careful removing these, they have a metal core with a plastic outer casing which includes the hole for the bolt that secures them. The hole in the axle flange is VERY tight, and once a little rust forms in it they can be tough to remove.
Take the bolt out and spray the area around the sensor with a good penetrating oil. You may have to let this soak and work for a good while. Only try to remove the sensor by gently rotating it a few degrees. add more oil if needed. Do NOT do the "obvious" thing by using the tab the bolt goes through as a prying surface with a screwdriver, etc. It's only plastic, and it will easily snap right off.
People break these all the time. Just be careful and patient.

Yes, that's one of the reasons I know about being careful about the sensors if present. Fortunately I research the heck out of projects before picking up a wrench, and got mine out without damage (took about 45 min ea though...they were really in there.)
