Yes sir it does feel good, it'll feel even better when I get to abuse it.

Thanks!

I was considering new bushings up top, but the ones in there are not dry rotted or damaged at all. I bought this rearend from another member on here, it was recently rebuilt with the 3.73s, has about 500-1000 miles on it, and judging by the great condition of the uca bushings, I think they were replaced also. I just had to change axles and paint it. Besides, I'm going to panhard/torque arm soon so uca's will be eliminated. I've got heavy duty adjustable lca's from Maximum Motorsports to go with the future panhard/torque arm and I just welded some reinforcements into new stock uca's to use for now.
