Tackling the t-case, trans and rear springs/air bags this weekend. Hoping to get them all apart but wont be able to assemble as i am still waiting for the clutch and rear spring bushings.

 

Your springs look nice! Guy at alcan just called me and said mine are done! It has been 2 weeks yesterday that I ordered them so pretty quick I thought!

Right on! So far they look pretty good and just what i asked for.

 

Good deal, how were they gettin them in? If there anything like my back ones there a pain in the but! My bolts were rusted into the steel in the middle of the bushings! Also to get to the front bolt on the drivers side you have to un strap your fuel tank and push it over to get to it. I used a ratchet strap and a 2x4 to hold mine over while I put the new spring in. What size tires are you goin with your 2 inch lift?

2 of 6 bolts were seized in the bushing, a 10lb sledge helped free them up along with alot of weasel juice. Other than that the fronts went fine.

Haven't looked at the back yet so not sure.

Will keep running my 265/75-16 for now, may step up to a 33 but so far the height seems the same after the new springs.

 

You could run 39s with just a weeeeee bit of fender work.....

 

Wont be doing any fender work, this truck is in pristine shape.

 

What air bags do you have planned to go in. I'm hoping to be able to install a set sometime in the near future as well as a lighter spring pack with some traction bars.

 

Have firestone ride rites.

 

Updates from the weekend?

T-case is out, trans should be out tonight. Had some other business to attend to so i didn't get as much done as i wanted. Not really slowing me down though as i am still waiting for clutch and rear spring bushings to show up.

 

Got the trans, clutch and flywheel out. Things have slowed down a alittle with the holidays near. Had a job interview out of town the other day and a few christmas partys.

The trans has been leaking for some time, guessing the top cover, so i spent some time and cleaned the underneath of the cab. It was pretty grungy, as you can see by the trans a tcase how bad thay are coated. Still waiting for my clutch to show up.

Included a pic of my homemade jack adapter, also the clutch still looks pretty good.

 

Wow, i found the trans and tcase under all the grime! Cleaned them both up and popped the top of the getrag, internals look great. Everything is tight and does not look worn at all.

 

lol transfer case looks like boxes on asphalt equipt I used to work on but looks great inside!

 

WOW my trans/tcase was clean compared to yours....that's awful. My trans tunnel was bad too. 2 cans of Brake cleaner and few towels later it was all clean.
