hope i can help .I cut 3'ft off my rear frame ,63" rear springs are right under the frame rails moved the pads in 4" each side . used 25gal army blazer diesel tank

ya today i tryed them in the spindle hole of the reid ( dedenbear ) knuckles. i read on here other guy had this problem. THAY DONT FIT ! you need to install shafts first then knuckle on after that. or you will grind off to much to keep them strong.


soon will have pics of nitro joints in and set in axle for clearence and lots of pics.

I had that problem with one of my yukon chromo stubs. It didnt take much grinding though. Yours are pretty hogged out so I wouldnt want to grind those either

thanks for the help and coments guys.

and i have had disk brakes on the last real 4x4 i had. wow it made a big diffrence.

and ya we need bigger pics man.

i read another guys build of dana 60 / stock knuckles / yukon shafts. he had to remove the knuckle also to install them. and had to lightly grind the inner shaft yoke to clear the inner "c" shape.

i will be doing some test fitting on the shafts and will take lots of pics and prob do a write up like i did with my 4l80-e / 203 / 205 / doubler kit.

[udy2554]

I'm guessing there is a "new tool hard 0n" to deal with?

 

[Teck]

I think that might be a little over kill for the king pin's

And it's four feet long.

And it's four feet long.

haa haa haa i wish i hade 1/5 of that size.

 

[Teck]

600 ft lb is the spec.

ok but a 3/4", 4' long one maybe.
Just did think it took one that big to do king pins.

got my rims back finaly .........

nice and white now no black.

was thinking to paint the centers green like my tcase setup . what do you think ? would be green center and white outer.

trucks going to be flat black so not sure on the whole setup yet.

 

[udy2554]

Flat black the centers, then chrome trim rings and ralley centers.

 

[sweetk30]

[rdn2blazer]

[udy2554]

I was thinking a small hand sledge and some super-glue. Or...just bolt them to the drive flanges.

Good to see things happening!!

 

[manchildau65]

I vote for the all white look....

 

[76zimmer]

they'll be muddy anyway wont they?
That green you have will sure draw your eye to them.
I like all white, with maybe some green hubs, but not the whole center of the wheel.
