    1986 k5 blazer front axle inner axles

    I picked up a 1986 k5 blazer and I’m wanting to build the front axle cause not all of us have the d60 money. I am wondering if there’s anyway to tell if I have 28 or 30 spline axles without tearing it apart. Been searching and I’ve found mixed results of the later axles being 30 spline but...

    1978 k10 rear u joint movement

    Hey all! So I’ve been driving my truck for a while now and I’ve already lost a u joint from a loose strap and now I’m very cautious about them. I just checked my u joints and the rear has a slight bit of movement side to side, my straps are as tight as I can get them (without rounding them off)...

    Steering shaft binding

    I cut off the rag joint on my k10 to help with the slop in the steering, now the steering is a lot tighter but harder to turn. Could it be binding? It also has cross over steering that’s brand new.

    Traction bars for 9 inch lift?

    Putting an 8 inch suspension lift and a 1 inch body lift on my k10, going to have 39.5 super swampers. Would I need to run traction bars or should I be safe without em?

    Small block 350 lifter tick?

    I just put together a small block 350, bought the block bored .60 over it has flattop pistons, stock crank. I got a cam i think it’s a 283 out of a different 350 and same with the lifters, they have about 1000 miles on them, also running aluminum darts heads. I started it up with a gear drive...

    What size lift to clear 40s?

    @Frankenchevy cuz square bodies are meant meant to have big tires and big lifts. But in all seriousness im building it to be my dream truck and I think the big squares look the best.

    What size lift to clear 40s?

    I’m about to get a bds 8 inch lift but it comes with 56 inch springs. The Dana 44 I’m getting comes with a b-52 hanger set so I can run them on the front but what do I need to run them in the back?

    What size lift to clear 40s?

    Don’t plan on doing any hard core wheeling, she’s gonna be my daily when I start driving and mostly just logging roads and light trails. If i go with the body lift should I just change to a jeep Cherokee steering shaft and make that fit? I’ve heard it’s better than the stock ones. I’m also...

    What size lift to clear 40s?

    I have a 78 chevy k10, I’m about to swap a 14 bolt rear and Dana 44 front. I have some 39.5 super swampers that I’m going to put in it but I’m wonder if an 8inch lift will clear them? I’m willing to cut my fender a little but no body lifts. Thanks

    Best gear ratio for 8 inch lift and 40s?

    I found a 14 bolt rear and Dana 44 both with 4.56s and it comes with cross over steering. I will look into that steering box and also the drive shaft stuff, thankyou.
