    If you haven't re-tightened the u-bolts since you had installed them that would be the problem... U-bolts will stretch over time and they should be checked every once and a while...

    I checked the u bolts, they were all still tight. Gonna see about picking up some 1/4 washers and try the carrier bearing drop and see how that works out

    Is it normal to have steering wheel vibration? It only happens after 50 mph

    Wheels and tires are same as before
    Could it be because I used spacers for the wheels?
    Alignment was done by the shop

    Install was done at Beyer Supreme Tires


    This morning on my way to work steering wheel shake was so bad at freeway speeds. I have no rattles, no sings of the problem being the spindles. Feels more like the problem could be the cheap lug centric spacers from Ebay.

    You know all of you guy's are my friends.... Whatever you need I will take care of you guy's.... Beyer is a great shop.... I had a customer that had tire shake and the SHOP blamed the spindles... HAHA.... The customer brought the truck to me and I replaced the cheap ass wheel spacers with the """ SPIDERTRAX """ wheel spacers and it was PERFECT... Please don't use cheap ass wheel spacers... Friends don't let friends use JUNK...... See Ya

    Alright guys, I have been away on vacation for the last few weeks and didn't receive my spindles until I got back. Hope to be able to start the install after my trip to Texas next week. I want to make sure that I have everything ordered before I leave. So far, I have at the house maxtrac spindles (with extended brake lines) and Eibach coils.

    Since I will have approximately 5.6" of lift in the front. I am going to go with a 2" AAL and 2" block in the rear. Picking up a set of Deaver 2" AAL from a member today. Besides the blocks, what else do I need?

    Extended brake lines?, U-blot flip kit (dont do any wheeling). I want to make sure that I have everything that I need before I get started.

    Anything else that I am not thinking of?

    LONGER U-BOLTS TO FIT THE LEAFS AND BLOCK!!!!!!!!!

    Also possibly ext brake lines for the rear.

    Also do you have a spring compressor or are you using the installed break down method?

    I am having a shop put the coils on the shocks and attempting the rest by myself.

    Are extended brake lines needed with a 2" AAL and a 2" block? Will order them if needed, but want to make sure I need them.

    Also, will I need extended rear shocks?

    I know this has been asked before but not near a computer to search through here. I don't know much about backspacing and wheel dimensions but will 4" BS work with these? Thanks.
