CLOSED JD Fabrication/81Trekker Suspension Group Buy CLOSED

Lookeee lookeee
Took me 66 years to get with the coil over crowd

 

Just curious if anyone has installed the lower control arm pivots on a 3rd gen without issue??

 

We are doing the first one shortly. It appears the rear bushing diameter is the only difference

 

cool, please inform us of your findings. I would really like to install this kit. Have you had any issues with the coils rubbing the coil buckets, steering rubbing anything, CV’s or anything else with it pushed forward as far as the kit will allow? Also do you have pics of how far back the skid goes. Just trying to get a visual idea of what it will need to have full skids underneath.

 

Will do and the skid goes all the back to the rear most lower arm tab

 

Last three sets of LT up for grabsfor those who missed the LT buy.

there were 4x sets.
don't be dumb and regret not getting this setup when you had a chance.

 

There would have been two sets, but I was already way to committed to my J arm setup.

 

Getting closer to installing my new axles.

 

Excited to see the finished product!

 

Hey guys, for those who will soon be taking apart outer CVs.

Order of preference:
1) The Pipe-Drop method. Hopefully you have better luck than me.
2) Cut the axle, dissemble the birfield, and have a machine shop press it out with a 100ton press.
3) See below.

The last one I took apart I tried a third method:
Take the birfield apart, and get the stub shaft and center piece out.
Support the inner birfield with a small piece of tube on a cement floor or steel plate, with the cut end of the axle pointed up.
Beat the ever living shit out of the stub shaft with a sledgehammer. I did it with a long handle 3#, if I have to do another one I'll use a 40#.
Once the stub shaft moves 1/8", flip it over and drive the stub shaft out of the inner birfield.

That 1/8" of movement is the snap ring breaking.

 

Do you or does anyone else have a part number or source for new outer CV snap rings?

 

If you can’t find any call RCV, they’ll send you out some.

 

It's coming together. Full bump will be about 3" of ground clearance.

 

@81Trekker Any word on the steering setup? I just figured out that my steering rack is jacked. If I’ve already fucked it up with as little wheeling as I’ve done the last year, I might as well get a better version since I’m moving back out west.

 

What he said, I got the double shear kit but not completely clear on wether to get a modified tundra rack or if there is something better.

 

Production run will be happening in the next month or so. Right now we are doing one at a time for in shop installs only.

 

Those that have the LCA pivot kit installed, how much caster are you running to get clearance from the firewall/cab mount?

 

On my personal truck I had 4 degrees and it cleared 295’s with zero cab mount mods

 

3rd gen kit has been installed and everything clears and fits perfect
