Replaced, feels a thousand pounds lighter.Miner wrote:Fully disassembled, cleaned, inspected, lubed and reassembled rear brakes to find/correct right rear dragging brake. Problem found to be the piston seal on the NEW caliper (installed summer 2011). Being replaced tomorrow under warranty.
Deavers should be a quick install, easier the the spacers up front. Ensure you get all the leaves oriented long side to the front.Relic wrote:Got my 2" spacers on front today, dreaded deavers tomorrow

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
got one side done, you are right Miner...4 c-clamps and 2 jacks make this a breeze. I read all kinds of stuff about cursing and swearing, using ratcheting straps, stripped bolts, wounds, and crying. (look I just went and cursed myself)Miner wrote:Miner wrote:Deavers should be a quick install, easier the the spacers up front. Ensure you get all the leaves oriented long side to the front.
all done, looks like a proper 4x4 now. Very happy with end result. Front needs camber fixed.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Blacked out my front grill chrome/badge with plastidip. Not sure if I'm digging the black badge but like the grill much more this way.
RELIC - what leveling kit u get? Looks amazing. Any alignment issues (can dealer still do alignment, or does it require a shop that deals with lifted trucks?)

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
thanks guys http://www.prgproducts.com/shop/product/prg-2xe11-mk/ and longer Bilsteins for back. I can tell the camber has gone a bit positive on the front, gotta get camber bolts from Greg (he forgot to ship them). I'll just get local shop to do it, thinking -1.

Picked up the passenger side manifold from APC. Now I get to figure out how to put the thing on.. or better yet how to even access the cracked one! LOL

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
I believe my camber bolts are still in their original position after 3.5 inches of lift. The camber looks a little out but is still well within spec.Relic wrote:thanks guys http://www.prgproducts.com/shop/product/prg-2xe11-mk/ and longer Bilsteins for back.

Looks good. I am interested to see how long it lasts vs the other options we've seen before.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
My next question is whether or not you can source the Heim's locally instead of having to get replacements through AC.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Got a screw in one of my duratracs while I was in little Italy. Limped it to the CT near my grandmothers house in Gloucester. Thank god for CT tire warranty, free repair!
