yo....i just posted above you

 

Jerry, he also needs to know the chock size. 1/2" or 3/8" etc etc.


Brian, hopefully you didn't forget to start spraying those nuts and stuff. here is the list that I want you to hit:

Rear Leaf shackle, hanger bolts and ubolts.
CV shaft bolts
top and bottom Shock bolts up front.
If you can get to them also hit the ball joint bolts.
Steering adjustment sleeve bolts and related tie rod threads in order for it to be easier to do the alignment.
Torsion Bar adjuster bolts. Hit these really really really good.

 

the diff drop isn't neccessary but it sure does help.

 

backgate said it. the diff drop and if you need one is directly related to how much lift you get out of the bj spacers. Crank a lot and you might need it but crank a little and let the suspension stay soft you should be fine. I only cranked like an extra 1.5" outta mine and after pounding the pinch weld flat my 33's worked well with minor rub issues when flexing. After the 1" body lift no issues at all so far.

 

A bit of advice for you guys if you plan on alignment in the drive way. Eyeball it first then go at it with the measurements. At least that's always helped me get get it close before i take it to the shop.

 

ya i put bj spacers on then cranked to get like 3" out of it and my cv angles are horrible and i cant keep a cv boot from ripping to save my life. i finnaly got a diff drop after the 3rd cv

 

here's the grinder



and i have 1 of these still in the package and 1 on the grinder......i don't think these wheels are for the intended application

 

Are they round???


Are they rough???

Do they spin round and around???


Then they'll do just fine...


.

 

ok good, now that I got a crick in my neck. lmao.

 

LUMPY....you should really come here

Brian if you get stuck here, you have to go to Church with us on Sunday and help teach class

 

I wish I were able too!!! But I'd hate to get blood on the pretty yellow truck. I always end up bleeding when I start wrenching on a project like that.

 

geeeeez, i wish there was someone medical here.pffft

 

I think you might have some trouble with those grinding disk only because of the thickness. Those are a 1/4" (.250") wide, and are for actual grinding. I used .045" wide cut-off wheels. The thicker they are the more material they will have to remove & the longer it will take to cut & hotter it will get. You can pick some cut off wheels at Lowes for cheap, just be sure they are 4-1/2" with a 7/8" hole to fit the grinder.

 

more stuff on your shopping list Brian

 

the only thing that worries me about this project is the BJ spacers. still not 100% sure of how and where to cut. As long as I don't cut off a finger I will be fine. gonna have to get some kevlar gloves from work.

 

Gloves??? Woosie

 

seen plenty of fingers still inside their gloves. seen plenty of broken grinding disc injuries too. also have seen what happens when loose clothing gets caught in moving stuff.

we will be careful.

i have a full face shield and ear protection ....i remember how deaf i was after i would use the grinder.

 

can also get ear plugs and safety glasses from work. can also get d(r)ust masks.

 

whatever you can get will be good.

i will get.......IV fluids / defibrillator / a big "H" to lay in the back yard (think about it.........what do we use a big "H" for?).....hell, i'll just have the medics park in the driveway.

 

I've been spraying everything down since Saturday!
