Default rebuilding rear end

welp, next week were taking out the rear end and getting it redone, and at the same time putting in new leaf springs, shox, the works, we got some nasty clunks from it so we know its time.

More often than not, the front bolt on the leaf springs will be rusted and will not come out. So, you have to cut them off on each side. I used a recip saw to get mine out. So just be prepared for that event.
