IT LIVES!!!!!! Got the timing right this time. Pulled the plug again, made sure it was blowing air out, did the tooth pick thing through the CPS again, but this time I turned the oil pump drive so that when I put the CPS in and lined it up with the camshaft gear and oil pump drive the CPS would be facing the rear of the engine at 0 degrees.
Unfortunately, the Sentry Key Immobilizer deal is turnin it off after 2 seconds, so I gotta get it to a dealer, but hopefully Will is gonna help me with that

Dealer needs to program the key to the new PCM, the PCM is thinking youre putting in a "wrong" key. Then it should be good to go!

Are the valves adjusted?

So apparently they adjust themselves on these engines...

Thanks guys!
and thanks again to Will and Alec for the help with the welding!
Other than the final welding though, proud to say I done it all myself
Charles, I think the angle on the lowers may be a little better due to the added length and higher lower axle mounts, but at the same time, the frame side mounts were also raised and I gained more lift due to the new coil buckets sitting a fair bit higher off the axle. So I don't know, not too much improvement. I may put some shorter springs in later to bring it back down, but probably not til I actually get some bigger tires on there and see how it looks...
Matt, shitty, feels like I'm drivin a lowrider with hydraulics that I can't control. The rearend just don't stop bouncin, which aint too bad at slow speed, but get's a little sketchy when I get it up to 70. Need to get shocks on there soon.
Alec, yep, had a pro do em
and not much left as far as the rear. Need to weld on shock mounts and apparently change an axle shaft seal
might also lengthen the rear shaft a tad. It's fine for now though.
Josh, amen brother. Good to not have to ride the bus everywhere. There's plenty more to do though. Already got new noises to figure out...

Other things I fixed while the axle was out:
-Offset front axle-Made and welded on new trackbar bracket
-Death wobble and niger-rigged steering stabilizers-New single stabilizer with long travel so I get full steering range and larger diameter bolts through the links and trackbar mounts
-Loose wobbling grill/front body and fan slicing up my coolant resevoir-JB Welded the resevoir and made new front body mounts
-New braided steel brake lines
-No more shitty parking brake...at all
-Badass Daystar spring spacers to level out the front til I get new springs
-Lotsa paintin
