Word dawg.


Glad you see the error of your ways man, I hate it as much as the next cheap ***, but there ain't no way around it.
And as bad as I beat my truck, I don't know how any axle stays together under it.
FORD!

 

it's funny you say that, i dont beat my truck up that bad, but when i take it out, i sometimes get all four wheels in the air, man, that suspension is such a badass...people around envy it because it's so damn smooth.

 

I have (accidentally) gotten air in mine.
But with 255k mile sit still takes "rock crawling" 4x4 launches in snow mud and sometimes pavement.
There is just something about spinning 4 tires on some fresh snow and gettin all bent outta shape that makes me happy inside.
I know lots of my friends in chevys and dodges envy how much of a beating it takes with nothing broke (knock on wood)
There's a reason she is the mud digger and I get the first call when someone is stuck.

 

Thanks for inputs , I talked with my front end shop hes done a lot of them, why will it be hard on the ball joints ? after camber & allingment nothings changed other than it sits up better up front. I was told to get a good aftermarket ball joint anyhow & u will never have a problem forgot which ones they were, none the less this truck allready has all new ones... I think I will prolly stick with my 31s cause I might be building a old bronco had them before, I will get a aftermarket wheel like I stated cause they will have the offset to make it lok like a real truck..

 

Well, keep us posted.
I would love for it to work out for someone.
Are you getting adjustable alignment cams or is the shop providing them?

 

The shop uses shims for camber.. hey russo2 what size wheel u have with your 31s ?

 

That's not how a ttb is aligned..?
And 15x7 sadly, only cause I love the look and hate the price of NOS 15x10 hurricanes.

 

i beat my old ones hard besides kinkin drive shafts blowin uniersals and blowin the rears "ive killed ring and pinions spiders i also snaped the 3/4 in dowl pin that holds the axels in into 3 pieces bent axels snapped studs broke axels" in the 4 8.8 rear truck i had ive been thru 7 rears not including rebuilding a few of them the 8.8 in this truck i got to put new pinion bearing in" but motors and trans "besides the automatics" never had a problem ive bent radius arms jumping my 95 i also broke a leaf spring in half on my 88 doin the same thing

 

my truck is used for driving to work pulling a camper & maybe a fishing boat, idont beat on my truck at all dont see any of those things breaking on mine

 

found out I have a leaking antifreeze out of the timing chain cover sucks lucky I have a brother inlaw that is a mechanic not that I cant do it but he has more tools & a shop to work at..
