Building a high ground clearance 14 bolt rear on a budget

Shaving a GM (AAM) 14 bolt 10.5 axle for my 1986 K5.
Yes I know you can buy a kit for this. I don't do that.

Anybody that plays in the rocks would agree that it's worth the work. Excellent job!

[@Freedo70]

nothin but precision when the demosaw comes out

[@Gemini_Beautify]

Seems like that marketplace buy was fate 😎

[@dennis8445]

Thanks sharing how to shave your rear end everything needs good ground clearance.

[@GEARHEADdezign]

I like that idea with the cover preload. Fuckin genius

[@jhitt79]

Only one beer in the rear??? You got ripped off!!!

[@johnkieffer4846]

i only buy the rears with the coors light in them.

[@spankranchgarage]

That sounds like something an old ford guy would say

[@Jimmyjimjim]

So I was watching this and thinking "what are you talking about, the only way you can improve the ground clearance would be the cut the crap out of....oh"

Wish I could find a cold snack.

If I gained 1.5 inch's my wife wouldn't have left me ;)

When’s more LE2 content coming

[@GEARHEADdezign]

Is that AAM also? My 11.5 has those same adjusters

[@spankranchgarage]

Gm made it from 70s to 99ish then AAM built it to 2015 or so. Love how easy they are to setup and adjust

[@GEARHEADdezign]

@@spankranchgarage yeah, mine was the first ring & pinion I've set up and it went really well. I put a helical diff from a Cummins in.
