Rear axle assembly

I was able to finally get the wheel lug studs mounted into the half shaft of the axle, so I was then able to finish assembly of the axle itself. Everything went back together well. End float is at 0.003, exactly where it should be. Contrary to what I found here initially, the shims on each side are balanced now, the leaf spring mounts are recentered, and the leaf spring itself has been repaired. When the leaf was apart, all individual leafs were cleaned, painted, then greased. So exciting.
