    Let's talk lockers

    What was the reasoning for not putting a locker in the front? I know that steering sucks sometimes, but I figure I don't need it that often, but when I do, I do, know what I mean? I've also thought of putting a True Trac in the front so that driveability is still good, but I've got more...

    Let's talk lockers

    In this case, no kind of locker is going to help (if the tires are both off the ground). On ice, I believe that the TrueTrac performs slightly better because both wheels aren't physically locked together. With the full detroit locker, you could get both wheels locked together during a turn on...

    Let's talk lockers

    When turning, the outside wheel is essentially unlocked and is allowed to rotate faster than the diff. If you throttle it up enough, it'll engage and you'll have a 50/50 split between the wheels which will cause some extra tire wear on both side. I've got a Detroit No spin in the rear end of...

    Lets see some badass pictures!

    Not sure how bad this is, but I like it.

    Major overhaul - new front and rear suspension and some other goodies

    Finally got the alignment cams installed, as well as the steering stabilizer. The tires are on and the project is complete! Tires delivered to my door! New vs old (old still mounted to rim in this picture) - Steering stabilizer (I realized after the fact that I installed it slightly...

    Major overhaul - new front and rear suspension and some other goodies

    Getting close to finishing up... I finally got around to having the LineX put in. I am very pleased with how it turned out. Now there are a few odds and ends, and then it is time for tires. The current tires still have a decent amount of tread on them, so I'm going to try and wait, but I'm...

    how much trouble was it to put new body mounts on?

    body to frame mounting bushings

    Let us know how the install goes and what the end results are. I was under the truck last weekend and noticed that my body mounts are looking pretty rough. I'd really like some hydraulic mounts, but not sure if they make them for out trucks.

    Major overhaul - new front and rear suspension and some other goodies

    Thanks for the compliments. As far as the alignment cams go, the ones I have came with the Icon springs. I believe you can order them independently from a few places though; Top Gun Customz maybe? Anyone have any thoughts on removing those cams? I will probably end up just having the...

    Major overhaul - new front and rear suspension and some other goodies

    Update - I had to pull the bed off again this weekend because my fuel tank was leaking a bit from an improper seal when I did the harpoon mod last month. While the bed was off, I figured it would be a good time to keep tinkering with the suspension, so I added in some accumulator tanks to...

    Major overhaul - new front and rear suspension and some other goodies

    Well, I finally got around to working on the front end of my truck. Installing the adjustable track bar wasn't too terribly difficult. It was actually harder to put the new track bar together (the bushing is a bear to get in!) than it was to put it on the truck. I used a two jaw puller to get...

    FS: Two Air compressors and two tanks

    small compressor sold. Price for the Firestone compressor and large tank is $150. Shipping would be ~$30.

    Depends on where it's being shipped to. PM me your zip so that I can guestimate on shipping charges.
