[93hummer]

Well I certainly won't be flexing that much or with that particular suspension kit.... it was only offered for a few years by a company called Off Road America, they are now out of business. They used to charge like 15 grand for that kit..... way outta my ballpark. What I was thinking was to remove the swaybar for more front flex and replace the stiff heavy duty rear springs with lighter duty (softer) Humvee rear springs and mounts.... this should give me a lot more flex for a few hundred bucks instead of thousands. As for the axleshaft pieces, it didn't even occur to me until I saw what a time you had on the trail.... then I thought hey I wouldn't have to do that. The advantage is I can change it quick and easily, the disadvantage is I have to ship them up here, I can't just go get new ones from Napa. Another downside is they cost 225 each for the light duty shafts and 420 each for the heavy duty.... but I got 3 heavy duty shafts for 450 total including shipping... gotta love Ebay, now I can fix the one I broke and have heavy duty spares.

Woody, you certainly shouldn't have any axle snapping problems with that 14 bolt in your K5.... just make sure you don't let Kev install it with old crusty center pins!!!! I am really looking forward to seeing you finish the K5, I really wanna see you tweak up that 6.2 diesel. You can actually get around 200 HP out of a non-turbo 6.2, there is a company that makes a cam for it and another that makes headers, man... now you're gonna force me to go digging for old links.... I'll post them when I find them. If you turn up the injection pump, do a good exhuast, cam, turbo prechambers in the heads, turbo injectors, K+N air filter, and headers, you should have all the power of a decent 350 and twice the mileage. Eventually I wanna do the injectors and cam....the headers are for a GM truck so I doubt they'd fit a Hummer but again, those things are near the bottom of my list.
