<VV> Axle spacing

[Shaun McGarvey]

Hi Kevin, did you remove the dished nuts inside the diff where the Late 
yokes bolt into? The Early/FC yoke is a slip yoke for suspension travel, so 
no bolts into the diff, thus no nuts. The slip yokes won't go all the way in 
with the nuts in place.

yea, Vairily ... Shaun
