ball joint spacers
 
where can i get ball joint spacers, add a leaf , gears ( 529 ) and lockers for a good price???

5.29 gears? What size tires are you planning on running? You would want to be 37 or greater for that gearing. How about some specs on your truck and what you use it for. The more info you provide the easier it is to answer your questions.

the 33x13.50 i have now rub pretty bad in the mud. i use the truck in the mud mainly. i want to get at least 35s. i have 4.30 gears stock. what gears should i go with and where should i buy them?? i know im going to need more lift other than the 4" trail master lift to fit the 35s.

To fit 35s you want a 4" suspension lift and at least a 2" body lift. My 35s still rub occasionally at full stuff when turning so I wish I had gone with a 3" BL. 4.88 gears match almost exactly for 35" tires, otherwise your speedo will be way off. Too much gearing can lead to broken parts.

Try to find a reputable shop that does gear work, unless you have done this before. There are 4x4 shops all over this country, but I have heard good things about Randy's ring and pinion, plus they always advertise in the Cal4wheel website so should be alright. Where do you live?

im from north carolina but i live in gulfport ms because im in the military. ill be there for the next few years. we have an offroad performance shop there but the labor is a bit pricey. what gears do you have? do you have lockers front and rear??

I have 4.88 with ARBs front and rear. Very pricey!

parts is the only thing thats going to get me. i have a friend thats been a mechanic for 25 years and he builds mud trucks in florida. all i have to do is buy him a case of coors light.

with the set up you have now you havent had any problem with everyday driving or problems with your trany or transfer case??

Kookadala Mar 8, 2006 09:08 PM

No problems on the road at all. I did install a tranny cooler and do a flush to replace the fluid with synthetic. Nothing done to tcase.

Drive to baja or arizona with no problems, other then it starts to shake between 60 and 65, so gotta keep it 70 to be smooth!
