    Hi, I just noticed this morning when I got to work. Both my axles “ripped apart”

    FD3C0BE0-E9E2-4E38-9F1B-C8D8AC3EFB95.jpg

    The dilemma is I work an hour away from home. Do I need to tow this to the closest dealership? I didn’t hear any grinding but the steering wheel “felt a little loose” on the drive to work which made me do a 360 on the truck.

    Which lead to this. F*ck. Any input will help. Thank you.

    How much lift are you running? That can contribute to extreme CV angles and a torn boot.

    Probably want to do a diff drop along with repairing them so it doesn't happen again. Because from the looks of it they may have been sitting at a severe angle.

    It looks like it. Based on pictures alone, it looks pretty extreme already

    If those are your CV angles, without the truck being jacked up, I'm in agreement with the poster above. I think this is attributable to the CV angles.


    I'm pretty sure you're ok to continue driving on them for the very short term, but they're probably toast.

    You need diff. drop spacers and longer bump stops....otherwise it’ll happen again and again and again.

    Yeah I had my kings preloaded quite a bit. Lesson learned. My biggest worries now is getting home from work. I’m a fireman so I’m at work for a few days. I’m trying to decide if I can drive my truck back home and take it to a shop. Or do I need to call a tow truck?

    Doesn’t matter who did it. I just had the Kings preloaded way too much.

    Personally? I'd drive it, very cautiously. I don't think a tow is necessary, but I'm no authority.

    Take it to the mechanic/shop.

    Those are shot anyways and will need to be replaced and considering you drove it a lot already looking like that...
