This may have been answered already, but why all the work into the 10 bolt? I am a believer that they can hold up to some serious power, but with all the work you have into it, why not just swap to a 14 bolt? Seems much cheaper and I would think more bulletproof. I'm not disagreeing with your build just curious.
I agree with you though on dumping the cash and still having a 10 bolt. Seems kindof dumb, but like I said the rearend/suspension I want is not in the budget right now and the build was fun.

Just a quick update, I got the bogarts ordered this week. I have not seen a set like these on this site yet 
, so I think yall will like them. Should be here in about two weeks.
Tomorrow I'm going to the alignment shop to get the frontend done. Then over to my dad's (has lift in garage) to finalize the pinion angle setting. From the looks of it I think I'm going to have to shim the trans up some.
I need to order some tires and I have a question? Do yall think a 26" tall tire will look dumb in the front with a 29.5" tall on the back? Or, should I go with a 27" or 28" tall? The reason why I'm asking is because I really like these http://www.mandhtires.com/store.php?...on=show_detail
but they only make them in a 26" tall.
I guess I could run a 28" tall slick and a 26" tall in the front to keep it from looking dumb. I don't know I'm starting to ramble.

I can't go with anything shorter than 28" in the rear especially with the 4.56 gear. I calculate that top speed in high gear with a 28" will be about 127mph, but thats with zero trans/converter slippage. So even with a 28" I'm right on the limit until I change to 4.10 gears. Not to mention it probably wouldn't hook with less than a 28" rear.
