Doing mods tomorrow, any advice??
I am installing the belltech rear shackles along with 3.73 gears tomorrow (at a buddy's shop). Is there anything I should know? Any tips? I just don't want to screw anything up! Thanks for any advice.

Shackles should take five minutes a side. Re-Gearing the rear end will take a few hours. Definately not a beginners job. Good luck

Remember, the bottom hole on the shackles is for the 1" drop and the top hole is for the 2". Also if you aren't doing it on a lift, take the wheels off to give you the ability to lower the axel low enough.
