Long Travel BS Thread

Gotcha, maybe I'll hit up Mike one day and see if he is willing to try to convert his own kit lol.

 

Unless you went back to a stock lower ball joint instead of a uniball, or built a spindle that raises the hub location (and lowers ride height), I don't see how it'll work.

 

I'd love to have mine redone
It's already peeling where my hand normally sits

 

Yeah with 100k miles mine is getting pretty worn out.

I think I was too busy drooling over the rest of your truck to notice that lol

Edit: where did you get that done?

 

That's a truck smp did. It's on a 2016

 

exactly how acidic are your hands? good lord. my 03 is still flawless.

 

Damn, need to find someone in AZ to do that kind of work

 

No idea what's actually happening with it

 

Is there a good way to pull out a CV axel removing as little of the suspension as possible?
My passenger side outter CV boot is leaking grease again and I want to repack it and reclamp it

 

If you just want to repack it, then buy inner and outer clamps and you should be able to just do it on the truck. Shouldn't even need to jack the truck up

 

Yeah, no idea why but it just won't stop throwing grease, it's been checked for rips and reclamped before but 100 miles later it's tossing a tiny bit again and then past 70 it tosses a shit ton

 

Well that's why I was asking how to pull the CV removing as little as possible
That way if I find a rip or tear I can replace the boot and just be done with it

 

Remove the two lower spindle bolts and the tie rod....rotate out of the way...takes 30 ish mins

 

This ^^^^^

 

Cool
Next bullshit question
Anyone had pedal feedback on the gas pedal or brakes when the wheel is turned left or right and going up an incline?
For example pulling into a uphill driveway on your right side?

I'm not finding any rub or anything odd but it's coming from somewhere haha

 

Gas pedal is drive by wire

Probably the steering pump? Like the whole truck vibrates?

 

I know it's drive by wire lol

It feels like something is binding
Kind of reminds me of when abs kicks in

 

Probably the steering pump maxing out when the rack is at it's limit.

 

So is there a solution?
Haven't heard any other LT 3rd gens having this issue
