    Eric, any chance you're familiar with gear swaps? I have two thirds coming from ECGS tomorrow.

    Gears went in. Replaced both LR UCAs under warranty. e-brake still broke, front inner wheel seals still shit. Have parts, need to get on it. Apparently my axle isn't bent, maybe? Who knows!? Not sure how much play is acceptable, there is some but not much, not enough to concern me now. I do know that my Wheelers steel wheels wobble much more than a factory steel wheel.

    What happened to the UCA's? Should I be concerned about mine? I haven't had any probs with mine, but I don't wheel as often as you do.

    Still one of my favorite trucks on the forum!!!

    God damn it, why did I go with the A/T?!

    I really like the 3" rather than the 2" I took out. Who did yours, how much did it cost, if you don't mind me asking? I paid probably close to 700 all said all done.:facepalm::smack::der::homer:

    Both bushings tore, and the BJ on one side was kinda sloppy. They paid shipping both ways and covered everything. I just had to put 200$ down on each arm, refunded when they got the old one back.

    Thanks! :eek:

    I don't know...I'm sure you could sell them pretty easily...as everyone with a 6" lift needs 35s :p

    MTR's or MTZ's were the 2 I narrowed it down too...and got a better deal on the MTR's so I went that route :cool:

    Yeah, I find they're a great all around tire, but I've only had them for 3 weeks or so now!

    Thanks...Kinda weird I know our trucks look the same and we have the same name! :cool:
