Long Travel BS Thread

I alined mine in the drive way with a measuring tape. Still drives straight with no uneven tire wear

 

i dont have the patience, or know how. Got an article by anychance?

 

you are 100% correct the last time i went to get an alignment at one of those shops they flattened my alignment tabs and tried to charge me to fix them "we can bend them back and weld them but its gunna cost 25 bucks a side" told them to fuck off real quik

 

thank you good sir

 

Bam! thanks

Like shims on the upper cross pin?

 

Woahh, wait.. For a 2WD to do a spring under.. You have to do something to your axle ?

 

yeah buddy shorten the driveshaft and add a slip joint!

 

No, well beside weld-on spring perches and shock mounts, nothing to the axle.

You do have to get a slip-joint installed in the driveshaft though

 

slip yolk added. it sucks. i have to do it right now. I'm getting mine done hopefully this week or next for sure.

 

oops! I meant driveshaft! thanks max

 

we all know what you meant

 

Yeah, Andrew beat me to the answer this time tho

 

Fuuuhk! Gotta get on that then!!

Where would I go about doing that? Adding a yoke, and what not..

 

any competent drive line shop can do it just do a search for HB driveline or some shit and start calling around

kinda far from you I guess but here is one.

 

Any good driveshaft shop should be able to do it

Like this (stolen from Burgman's thread);



While you're at it, Logan (username) came up with this for his truck to remove the carrier bearing with a pillow block (part# in thread):

 

Just got an estimate at a place for $225

 

lucky mine got quoted at $320

 

and once again... 1st gen FTW
