Eammon--I see you live in the same town I do--what lift did you put in?

 

Is it possible to get the bearing replaced and not need an alignment afterwards?

 

OME shocks, 887 coils and a Dakar leaf pack with JBA UCAs.

 

Looks good! Did you guys cut the long uca bolt and get a new one?

 

Yes we did. Better, daylight pictures coming soon.

 

Looks good! now you need some bigger tires!

 

Seems to go away in 4wd. Pretty certain it's the bearing.

 

Sitting in the garage waiting for new wheels to mount them on.

 

Nice! What size did you go with?

 

You shouldn't need to get a alignment after replacing the bearing.

 

Cooper AT3 in LT265/75-16C

 

? Not 285s?

 

Nope, I don't think I need that much tire. I'm mostly commuting and towing with some occasional off road fun.

 

I hear you--I have 265s I saved and another set mounted for when I get sick of the gas suck of the E-load 285s

 

I am in west boylston and work in southboro.. could meet anywhere in between if you want to borrow mine. I didn't notice a huge difference when I installed the ECGS bushing in my truck. Do yourself a favor when you push the end of the tool in put some fishingline on it so that incase you go too far it won't go into the diff. Once it is in place cut the line off and screw the threaded part in.

No need for alignment

 

Nice I just put on DuraTracs in 265/75/16. The extra inch of sidewall is nice.

 

I have an ecgs bearing if you need it

 

I have the same tires, over 60,000 miles on them so far. Great tire all around.

 

You guys are the best. I'm amazed by how many of you step up to help others out here.

@mach1man001 with the installation
@replica9000 with the assistance, and he threw a sway bar relocate kit my way yesterday

Today I have two people offer to loan me the bearing tool and Rebecca with the bearing itself.

You guys rock.

 

You only need to disconnect the UCA to remove the axle and do the bushing repair. No need to do an alignment at all
