Bocsy44's taco addiction build

3rd time was a charm and I don't leak anymore! Man those things are sensitive little buggers.

 

You might one to get one behind the hub too, mine was destroyed the first time, killed my bearing, and when I changed my axles it was destroyed again, and killed the same bearing. When I'll change it I'll grease the exterior so water and salt don't screw it again

 

I'm assuming that is what I am talking about when I say outer axle seal

 

There are two, one on the axle, and one on the hub, they get one in the other when everything is in place. The one on the axle is dealer only, the other can be found in auto parts store. I may still have the box of the one on the hub for the part# if you need

yeah that's the one I want! I will also grab an extra one that goes into the diff

 

Great! Ill get you the part# of the one that goes on the hub tomorrow if you feel like you want it. It is like 40$ I think.. expensive, but still, i think all seals on this truck are close to 40$ lol

 

if you can find it that would be great. I would much rather have it on hand if I need it. if not it will go into the box of trucks parts

 

There you go!

 

Well, phase 1 of the lift is officially complete. I installed the rear lift. 5100's, 3 leaf progressive AAL, wheelers U Bolt flip kit and super bumps. Before measurement was 21.75" and I am now sitting at 23.75". Took me about 5 and a half hours to get it all done and buttoned up including set up and clean up. Finished just as the snow started to really come down.

Before:


Old vs New


I chose to leave the overload spring in. Had to cut the bracket that I'm pointing at to make it work.

 

Nice!

 

Need a side shot so we can see that rake!

 

Congrats on the rear lift! Jelly of those bumps

 

@Kemosabe had to wait for the right weather to get the after picture to match the before picture. If there is sun out i get too much shadow and u can't see anything hahaha

 

Lol no worries!
Looks good man! Even without the front lift! But I kinda like a small rake! I hope I'll get some after the install of the rear lift instead of being leveled. But still won't bother me to be leveled lol

Btw, what happenend to the kinetic rope and the come along?

 

It's still in Toronto hahaha it's at subways brother in laws place. He said he would hold onto it until I can arrange a TW express of pick it up. There is a meet and greet in May so I might tour down for that and grab it on my way.

 

Haha great at least it stayed in Canada lol for me no hurry, I don't plan to need the come along before long lol

 

I can see the scratches on the powder coated wheels from here

 

*Edit

Them tires need some tire shine!
