Oh, and the u joints seemed fine. I was careful. They were free but not floppy like you see on used ones. I have used the 4wd but not on the road, so I haven’t had it going fast enough with the hubs locked to really know. The u bolts are probably torqued to about a quarter million ft lbs at this point which I’m sure I will regret at some point. I tweaked the toe a bit. I will get it checked before getting new tires but I’m confident it’s within service tolerances right now.
