Just added them to a album on my profile. I'm on my phone so I'm not very good at posting pictures straight to the thread. Lol.

Here's a link to the exhaust though:

Today I replaced both of the front 4wd actuators. I think they are called IEW's or something. It was pretty easy. I did not get in any hurry at all, took me about 3hrs. I have only had this truck about 3 weeks. I knew they there was something wrong with the 4wd when I bought it. I think now its working good though. I will do some off road testing on it soon to make sure.

Put a 2.5 inch level kit on it and 2 inch wheel spacers on. It wasn't rubbing before I have after market wheels 20x10 with 275/55r20 now for some reason in reverse it rubs like crazy and occasionally when I hit a bump it will rub...I thought I gave it more clearance instead it rubs terribly now. what can I do to fix it I want 305/55r20 on but these rub so I know those would?

I have seen a truck on 33" tires and 20x12 so yes I'm pretty sure it should. The 2" spacers combined with the 10" wide wheel makes it act like the truck has a 20x12 or almost. The problem with rubbing is always when the wheel is 3/4 turned. The higher the wheel away from that section of the wheel well the more space to turn yah have. 4''lift? Look at RCX and BDS suspension. I don't think Rancho is available in 4" anymore

okay thanks, I definitely want 33 inch tires idk about 12 inch wide tho. If I cant have the spacers so be it, but I am for sure getting the lift. I have heard too much about the 2.5 level to not be concerned.

New Rancho 9000s on the back. 1st PB Blaster soak on the drum bolt/axle ends, for the brake shoe replacement to come.

Got the right rear off after 2 days soaking and beating with a BFH.
