Official 5-lug Suspension Setup Thread

60lbs torq spec. and they have locktite from factory . its just a precaution . totally your call. i get it.

 

But use blue if you use any. And the torque spec lowers when you use loctite. You can easily over torque.

 

i did not know that. learned sometime today.

 

Loctite is considered a lubricant by most, but some argue to use dry torque values with it. But here, the mechanics use the lubricated torque values with loctite based on directives from our reliability department. Here's a sample torque chart.

Thanks for the help, picked up the nut today at my dealership. Within that time frame, one my roommates mangaged to lose my UCA bolt for it I had laying on my table.

Would you happen to know part # for the 5 Lug UCA bolt?

 

90119-A0119 $4.00 wasn't ignoring just haven't been on in a few days.

 

Has anyone had any issues with the toe end alignment with the 2.75 inch front spacer installed. My tires seem to be slightly wearing on the outside edge more than the Inside Edge.

 

I don't have that problem nor have I gotten an alignment for my truck either. Was planning on getting a Lifetime Aligment.

 

That's exactly what I was talking about! Mine was +.18 degrees. I'm wondering if there's a factory spec they are setting this to versus actually checking the alignment because after the spacer is installed I think it changes some of the geometry or whatever

 

Do you think the lift setup we have only going to cause problems?

 

So what's the ride difference with changing the ucas ???

Lucky! So what's noticeable difference ???

 

Sorry posted it twice hahah thought it didn't send

 

Does the top plate of the 1st generation fit ours or do we have to use ours

 

Well something went wrong. I did an AAL a few weeks ago and the today did a 2.75 front spacer. Anyone else see the problem here. Any suggestions on how to raise the back up a bit more. Also I am blinding people so I hope I can adjust my headlights down.

 

It's probably the weight of the cap....is there anything else in the bed?

 

Nothing in the bed. Could the cap really cause that much sag? If it is is there a leaf pack available for the 5 lug. I could not find one. There should be a shackle lift for these. The search continues.

 

Put another leaf

 

Will that work with the 5 lug leafs being under the axle?

 

Maybe I've read some on here saying. I would just get longer u bolts, center pin then just cut off some so it don't stick out to much. I'm thinking of doing because sometime I carry a lot and says a little. Though my one aal lifted only about 1" or 1 1/2 but it helps a lot. My 6 lug shocks were a little to long with no aal.
