    I have a feeling this is going to get expensive.

    I have seen this video, thanks. That is why I installed the pinion shims to get the angles right. I will try to flip the driveshaft/yoke and see what that does.

    I have a feeling this is going to get expensive.

    So far I have changed tires and had them road force balanced with weight hammered onto the rims, not the little stickers ($1100). Went through two sets of tires, so thinking they are good but the rims are suspect. Then changed all steering tie rods and ball joints ($1200). Just finished adding...

    Method 701 milled aluminium rims

    Thinking of putting these on. $333 each. Anyone have a thought? I thought they would look great on the black square.

    Before I have to hear it from someones Aunt on this site about torque and old U bolts, I got new U bolts coming.

    Redfish, Called the Skyjacker guys and did not find them as helpful. Did you have to order longer U bolts? I ordered some Superlift U bolts (3318) and hope they work, if not the project may take a little longer.

    Redfish, Just wanted to confirm with you, The Skyjacker Soft Rides you got are 47" long, 2.5" wide and give you about a 3"lift. The part numbers are C125S correct?

    Going for the 2.5 Skyjacker. Cannot afford one more inch of lift or it won't fit past the 7' garage door.

    Eric, I replaced all the bushings last year with ORD kevlars and greaseable bolts. The present project is to install pinion shims in the back to change the driveline angle and hopefully get rid of an annoying vibration. Then get rid of the blocks in the front with soft ride springs and by the...

    Tires are 33s no blocks in the back, only in the front.

    DVD, did you read the OPs first post? I'm assuming you just look at pictures. I am asking a question that will fix my block issue. Your post is no help.

    Grit, not sure of lift in back. I don't know what stock height is. Getting ready to put 4 degree pinion shims in rear, so that might add another half inch. I don't think Skyjacker makes a 2" softride leaf. I'll have to wait to get measurements.

    I can't make out the part number from your pic. Skyjacker site only shows those springs for CJs.

    From all I have read the 2.5 Skyjacker leafs will probably work the best for keeping the truck stance about the same and provide a good ride. I'll let you know.

    The pic shows the front higher but it is really fairly level. I'm sure the rear springs are not stock either.

    I bought the truck this way years ago. It hasn't killed me yet. I would like to get rid of the 3"of blocks in the front. Is it safe to say 3" lift leaf springs would provide the same lift so everything would still line up as it is now? Is Skyjacker or other better for a more comfortable ride?

    Equal - Tire Balancing Beads, No weights to Lose

    Just to revisit this post. My tire guy told me if the big tires sit too long they develop flat spots. The beads will find those flat spots and will make matters worse. Any truth to this?

    Replacing front steering components question

    DVD, yes, thanks. Looking for a place that sells a new one. Can't seem to locate one. Center adjusting tube that is. #2 in the pic.

    Replacing front steering components question

    I'm in the process of ordering new Tie Rods and Ball Joints and came to the Center Link Adjusting Tube. I know that it should come off with no problem, but concerned if I have to destroy some threads. I can't seem to find that item anywhere. I'd like to know there will be a bridge to cross if it...

    Yup, Hi temp grease. It's all good now. They both get a little warm, not hot, after many miles of highway driving. I'm happy.

    Thanks Bextreme, I'm on it!

    Hub question

    Thank you guys. I did not go any further than the inner adjusting nut. I removed all the old grease so I could see the bearing and nothing looked abnormal. I did not want to disturb the bearing, so I reinstalled the inner adjusting nut till it was snug (no specific torque), and there was no...

    Hub question

    I had a annoying shake at about 45 mph. After checking everything, I lifted the front and was able to move one of the wheels in and out. I figured the bearing was bad. I dug into it and didn't see anything bad. I retorqued everything back together with some new grease. Now the shake is gone but...
