Nice. How's yous look? Check the transition from the taper to non taper. Thats where I found mine cracked. How was your play also?

My EMFs were fine. I always added more grease. Probably too much, as Harry and Christian would complain haha.
The biggest issues was my top caps turning.
I'm happier with uniballs now

 

Few more things to button up and ready for New Years in Ocotillo after a quick stop in Parker to laser scan some F550 parts
JD FAB front to back

 

That’s probably what happened was the top caps backing off or something. Idk all speculation. Lowers good now. Uppers will be swapped soon.
Nothings perfect. Unless you stay completely stock never leave pavement and just replace all at 100k anyways.

 

That’s exactly what was happening. Paint marking told my story. There is an immense amount of pressure being applied to these top caps, then you add steering in. They won’t tighten, but they sure will loosen.

I feel like lots of guys are probably just fine with the EMF’s if they aren’t jumping or blasting whoops. But for those of us who are. Uniballs all day long.

 

That's one of the best under carriage work light ever

 

I laugh when anyone from the Midwest talks about snow. Y’all have us beat on cold but the west gets dumped on. 700” in my front yard last season but I live at 7000ft.

I do a little bit of snow wheeling but it’s usually too deep and I don’t like sliding off mountains. But that’s what the snowmobile is for. Gotta huff exhaust fumes somehow!

In more important news: waiting to hear back from JD on an install date for my LT but at least I won’t have to deal with EMF!

 

Are you 2.25" over or 4"? What fenders?

 

The paint work on that glass is so clean!

I checked and greased my EMFs today, they are holding up for now. Still gonna switch them out when JD fab gets back to me.

 

Haha
Ghetto, but works great. LED. I drop it all the time and it keeps on keep'n on

 

+4 with ADV fiberglass

Didn't lose any steering feel with the LCA uniballs compared to EMF. Maybe a stock truck with smaller tires would feel stiffer, but +4 on 35s feels the same at the wheel. Steering returns to center well also.

 

Considering mine were apparently wearing like poo. My steering got better. So it’s definitely a YMMV deal.

Also JD responses via email have been prompt and on point.
Kuddos to them on this.

 

Has anyone with the lca pivots regeared? Does its make it much harder to get the diff out? I need to pull off the skid and take a look but i remember pulling off the drain plug awhile back and having a bit less room so it got me wondering

 

I regeared prior to welding in the pivot kit, but then had to pull the diff to do the tundra rack after the pivot kit. Made no difference at all.

 

Wait, you had to pull the diff to install the rack? Maybe tundra rack isn't in my future after all...

 

No difficulties for me either
