    Oh - I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that I was popping CVs and ripping boots like a retired volley ball player dislocates his shoulder!

    Egzachree :)

    You will be fine.

    Egzachree - It's off center about 3/8" of an inch. That is why I think it's off in the Z axis (up and down) as well. When I remove the dog-bone, I can drop it down so that it gets the tripod back in the cup.

    This is why I'd like to check my dog bone with a known good one.

    Thanks for all the input.

    One of the first things I thought of. Measured and all related datum points seem to be right on! - I thought something would be bent - looks like the cracks 'saved me!' lol :eek:

    My truck was just parked outside my pad, and i get a call from neighbors saying it was hit. when i go outside theres two asians standing there with a blank face. My truck was hit from the rear first, he backed up and took my front wheel out. I guess one hit wasn't enough :facepalm::(

    Hmmm. It says they are 16". 3" wide and 700lbs. I measured the shaft fully extended and it was right at 8". The bodies look a bit bigger than the shafts. Is that normal?

    700# weight spring is going to way to heavy for your truck especially LT & Prerunner. I'd look for a 18" 550-600# Spring.

    Also, measure the total Extended Length and compressed length, not just a the shaft, then go on the Fox site or call DSM and see what they are relative to specs :cool:
