    Front driveline too short after lift kit.

    i have 8"s of lift in my K30 with a mostly stock shaft. transfer case is dropped an inch, ground out the stops on my cv and bought a longer slip yoke. i did rip the ball outta the cv and replaced it with a H-D one couple yrs ago. i think i paid around $125 for a longer yoke

    Radiator replacement / repair ideas

    the 3 row tubes are actually bigger than the 4 row tubes, a pretty minor upgrade overall that i don't think is worth the extra $. i have a champion 3 core in my crew since 2010 with zero probs. even in 100 degree heat going up 10% hills in the mountains wit my camper on board and quad trailer in...

    37s on a half ton with a 12 bolt with 4.10 gears

    lots of good info shiftpro. having owned approx 7 or 8 lifted squares, for anything bigger than 35's, 1 ton axles are best unless you just road drive 'em. 1 tons also come wit a factory steering box brace that i find is plenty skookum. can get them for practically free at the wrecking yards. not...

    New member and questions about my truck
